Have you called parts at Pelican? I would bet that they can help.

Making do with zip ties doesn't make your car a Beater. 20 years is a long time, plastic dies!

LOL - now that's funny! (says he w/ more than "a few" containers of countless sized and colored zip ties to match any job from black to chartreuse yellow)

Seriously, I'd recommend "deleting" the sensors entirely by shorting them out to stubs. As a detailed person, I'm sure you are checking your pad thickness w/ regularity. Plus its make cleaning the wheels & calipers easier especially for a particular people.



Otherwise a few dabs of JB Weld I'm sure can mend those broken pieces making them better than new.

Good luck

I have looked through the Porsche Boxster parts listing: https://www.porsche.com/all/media/pdf/originalparts/usa/986_USA_KATALOG.pdf a hundred times and cannot seem to find the parts anywhere. I was hoping someone else might have had this problem and knew what they were, or what system they would show up in.

With regard to Pelican, They could not figure it out from my description and for some reason they could not see photos when I emailed them. I think it was some Apple incompatibility. Since I now see the photos here, maybe that will solve the problem. I'll refer them here.
