Yesterday I ordered the Pelican Parts boot "kit" which they say is manufactured by GKN - I don't think Pelican would sell el cheapo knockoff parts for Porsche....

I also went round to two tool supply stores yesterday and the CHEAPEST 350 ft/lb torque wrench I can buy in Australia was over $600 = $US500.... Admittedly both wrenches were good brands, but what can I say. Its stuff like this that makes maintaining your car SO expensive here in Oz - the parts cost less than $50 but to complete the job I have to invest 10 times that on a single wrench that I will only use every other blue moon....
I may just as well get the local shop to install - it will be cheaper than buying the damn torque wrench !!

Late Note.....
Just logged onto Harbour Freight & see they ship to Australia - I'll get a quote from them - thanks Gelbster....
