It just seems like a no hassle way out and with little $ involved little can be saved by poking around for the best price.

What he said! Lately I've been buying most of my parts from the Rockville Porsche dealership. The customer service is good, I get almost daily updates on my parts, and they try to work with me to get me my stuff when I need it.
Can't beat German rubbers . I just bought some miscellaneous hardware from the dealer, it's the real deal, gotta love bolts with the Porsche crest on it !
The only drawback is that you HAVE to know what you need specifically(read: part number or name). They don't know much about the earlier 911's, but at least some of the service guys are willing to learn .
Andy, get a copy of the PET if you don't already have one. Print out the diagrams and circle the number of the parts and just give the diagram to the service guys, I have been successful at using this approach.

That reminds me, OffCamber, I have the hardware you need to mount you're tail to the decklid. Let me know when you need it.
