Does anyone have any 911 '69-'78 door window frame threaded press inserts ?
I can't seem to find a part number so don't think Porsche ever sold them separately
These are the externally knurled, internal threaded steel nuts that press into the aluminium door frames so the various parts of the main frame can be bolted together.
Equally if you know somewhere that sells them then do send me a link or details.
Thankyou
Andrew

Re: 911 '69-'78 door window frame threaded press inserts
Can anyone help ? I need 6 of the inserts from a single frame. Does anyone have a damaged or corroded frame they would be will to simply press them out of ?
Cheers
Andrew

How about something like this Andrew ? :

Alternatively this company based in Stratford on Avon might have something suitable:

Thanks for the suggestion Andy.
The problem is that anything different would involve machining the frame to suit and a major factor is that the hole is very shallow so I don't think anything else will do. Certainly nothing else I've seem or on these sites would be shallow enough even after going to the trouble of machining it out.
I really just need some of the genuine items off a damaged frame.

Do a search for swage nuts or self clinching nuts something like this
https://www.spaldingfasteners.co.uk/sel ... inc-m3-m8/
Think that’s what Porsche used to assemble the frames

Re: 911 '69-'78 door window frame threaded press inserts
Thankyou Sean,
As you say Sean it is definitely a 'swage nut', 'self clinching nut' or 'press fit nut'. All the same thing.
I have probably spent upwards of 10 hours searching online for something similar. What is very unusual about the one Porsche has used is that the knurled but is the larger diameter section.
All standardly available swage nuts have the knurl on the lower diameter section designed to press into a sheet with the larger diameter section sitting proud of the substrate.
In Porsche frame case it is flush fitting on both sides of the frame. I'd love to know where to find them but I've had no joy. It may have been made specially for them.
If anyone knows where to find them online then I'd love to know where.
