Installed right and left spinlocks and their retaining bolts today.

Bought them from the same ebay seller (qualityporscheparts) that I bought the rear bumper cover from last month. I was looking to see what other parts they had when I stumbled upon a set of brackets removed from a 2000 S that still had the spinlocks in them, and $30 (shipped) seemed like a pretty good deal.

Installation was pretty straight forward - only problem I had was when installing the passenger side retaining bolt there was an interference problem with the 5mm socket that I was using. I switched over to a long handled 5mm T-wrench and that took care of it.

It was 97 F here today, and I really wish my garage had A/C... I must have lost 15 lbs to sweat...

Now I'm ready for when that hard top comes along...
