I put this picture on Bard's spec board, so here it is.
This is what I see the mechanics at the local dealer using for the lower spring band clamp. Once the clamp is in position the blue clip is puled away and the clamp closes. Marvin Weitz at RennShop in Santa Clara also uses it.

Cas! glad it helped.. I should point you to a shop that charges for what it takes.. not some BS book time from Mitchell systems.
If you need ANYTHING done.. check out Heyer Performance in Mountain View. They are just off of 101 and Rengstorff near Google. Tony (the owner) was on the 935 teams in the 80's with Garretson enterprises who beat all the factories teams at Leman with Jerry Woods built turbo engines. Bottom line: he knows his sh_t!!
Mention "Brad Roberts sent me" to Tony.. and he will take care of you. Promise. They are open 4 days a week from 7am-6pm. Tony has been a Porsche wrench for 30 years now and has been on MULTIPLR factory backed Porsche ALMS teams. He helped me get my foot in the door with the Porsche teams back in 99-00 with Dick Barbour.

Brad,
Thanks for the info. Yes I know where Hyer is located. I used to work nearby. Without the clear pictures you made I probably would not have done it. Now that I've done it once the next time will be a lot easier.
Thanks

By the way the part number for the clamps with the blue retainer is 999-512-630-00 / 99951263000. It saved me a lot of time.........

75K Failed AOS
Advise needed. On my way back from Cape Cod I became stuck in stop and go traffic and after about an hour I notice my 02 Boster was smokeing. Made it off the next exit and had it towed to a Porsche shop in Hartford. Musante Motor Sport was great and I picked up the car last Friday. It was the AOS. I changed the oil this weekend and I will send it out to be analized. It seems to have a little rough idle. It there anything else I should check?
Thanks,
RJ

Cannot see pics.
I seem to be having a problem, well, two actually. One, I seem to have all the classic symptoms of a bad AOS. My second problem is that I cannot see the pics of this (from what I have read), very detailed AOS replacement DIY.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hey gang.
I'll "fix" all the pictures this weekend. I sold the "BoxsterSpec" domain name last year, but I still have all the pictures from the site. I'll move them to another domain name I use (986racing.com) and make them work again. Pretty simple fix, but it will take some time to get them back into place... and I was just reminded we have a track event on Saturday!! So look for them Monday morning. I'll fix them during the day on Sunday.
