Hi guys, I am a pretty new WIX member. Love reading the posts and hope to be able to contribute more in the future.
We have a 985 were assembling for a static display. It is missing the nose case, rocker covers and push rod tubes.
Anyone know of any parts available?
Thanks,
Todd Matthies

If you live within a decent distance of an engine overhaul facility, perhaps you could convince them to donate or sell to you cheap the needed parts and specify to them you would like them to be rendered unairworthy by drilling holes in them that you could then patch for static display with bondo after you get them home or grind away unseen but important for safety items like threads or retaining bolt locations that you could epoxy replacement, dispaly fasteners into...and be sure and engrave inside the engine parts 'NOT FOR USE-DISPLAY ONLY' with a vibropen
