As much as my wallet is telling me the same thing, all those years on the original plastic components must have weakened them. The last thing we want is small plastic bits circulating through the engine, coming to rest in and blocking vital cooling capillaries.

I bit the bullet and bought Genuine Porsche from Vertex Auto. Best combo of price / shipping / availability that I could find from north of the border. (Without having to use the gouge-at-the-border couriers.)

PS I was a little disappointed with my interaction with Whaletail Canada. Got a bit of attitude from them when asking specifics on the pumps they sell. If any Canucks out there have had good experiences with them, PM me, as I'd love to avoid the border hassles and increased shipping $ for future parts buys.
