Porsche gauges

VDO has been the main supplier of gauges and related sensors, senders for Porsche since the beginning. Restoration of the gauges, or repair is done to bring them back up to operation. They are rebost, simple, and last decades without much maintenance. Custom painted faces, voltage conversions, Euro to US, or US to Euro calibrations, increased tachometer counts, or cable drive to electric. It all can be donw for your project. Enquire for pricing and time frame.

Please see our product sections for gauge bulbs, used gauges, and other off the shelf instrument needs.

We offer our gauge services to Porsche, and special project VWs.

Generator rebuilds

Now that BOSCH has discontinued many of the early model electrics for a variety of makes. It is left to independents to properly restore the original components:

6 volt generator rebuilds
356/912 12V generators rebuilds
Early 911 alternators
Starter motors
Voltage regulators
Wiper motor overhauls

6 to 12V conversion parts

We have a few conversion parts for 356 12V conversions such as wiper motors, some gauges, and generators. Please inquire with your needs. We also stock all new bulbs OSRAM, and have the know-how to help you through the process. Check out our online store for bulbs, relays, and new voltage regulators.

Powdercoating

Working with a local powdercater. who has worked with virtually every Porsche part, we can now offer our services of overseeing proper coating of parts. Exhaust parts in need of ceramic coating, we can take care of as well. The cost varies depending on quantity, how complcated the part(s) are, and size. We can acurately quote, and turn around parts quickly for you. Engine tin, suspension parts, seat bottoms, sway bars, springs, etc can all be done with this technique. It is best to call and discuss, parts need to be in our hands to acurately give a quote.

356 Link Pin / King Pin rebuilds

Now that many 356's are deep into restoration activity they all need attention to the front end suspension. Most of the time the process of greasing the front end was overlooked, or adjustments not done preoperly. The link-pin bushings and the kink-pin bushings often have dangerous amounts of wear. We offer a service of rebuilding the front spindles for 356/VW type 1 and type 2. Lufteknic has all the proper equipment, parts can be plated, painted, or powdercoated if you desire. Spindle threads are checked, all surfaces inspected, cleaned, and properly set-up to be installed on the car. Price depends on needs.

We do not offer an exchange program, you actually get the same parts back that you sent. Time frame is generally a couple of weeks ( from your door back to your door) depending on finish level, and needs.

Chroming, Plating

Many parts on Porsche's are plated with a variety of finishes. CAD, Zinc, Nickel, Chromium, etc. We work with a great plater for redoing hardware, brackets, and various sheetmetal. All kinds of parts can be chromed and if you have needs or dreams, we can guide you through some of what can and can't be done.

Custom painting is another need that many have approached us about. Helmets, engine tin, and other parts can also be tended to.

Vintage License Plates

You have your Porsche all ready for the road, but no period license plates?

Lufteknic has a great source for vintage license plates. NOS plates in pairs, and interesting number combinations are often avaliable, Good used, and even Restored plate sets are within reach as well. If you have plates that need a cosmetic restoration this can be taken care of too. Please inquire with what your needs. County or City tags, and other rare license plate accesories are also avaliable.

Fuel System rebuilds

Another need we have developed a service for is fuel system component rebuilds. Carburetors, Throttle bodies, slide valves, and fuel distributors can be refurbished properly. Many of these rare pieces have been neglected. Again the cost of this all depends on needs, type of part, etc. Now that some of the fuel injected cars are decades old, there is attention that is often needed to keep the cars with Motronic or CIS - Jetronic alive. Re-bushing and rebuilding carburetors can also be taken care of. Call with needs.
