Hi,
I need to replace the front top mount on my 2002 C4S so i went searching on the forum to see if 997 C4S mounts are interchangeable ala C2 models. While there is much discussion, there doesn't seem to be a definitive explicit verdict in any of the threads.
Based on my research from threads on here and the 2010 electronic Porsche parts catalogue, the 996 and 997 C4S mounts while they may look very similar, are not identical and therefore not officially interchangeable.
This is also supported by a comment i read in one of the threads (can't find it now) where someone bought 996 and 997 top mounts and gave them both to Centre Gravity to see if they were the same and CGs comment was that they will fit, but the 997 isn't as adjustable in the 996 or something to that effect.
Also, the 996 parts catalogue lists the C2 997 P/N as interchangeable with the 996 P/N. If the same was correct for the C4S P/N I'm sure it would have been listed in the 996 parts catalogue.
If anyone has any official paperwork to support the interchangeablility i would only be too happy to accept that i am wrong as it will save me a few quid!!!
