BTW I'm on a 997.1

The rams just spin, they don't un-thread.

 

OK - done with my 997tt.

What a PITA. If you're just ditching the stock cylinders/rods for the ebwerks rods, you don't need the fancy pin-spanner tool to unthread the stock rods from the wing. Just put a screw or bolt in the hole and then grab a vice grip wrench and clamp it down and turn.

There seems to be some miscommunication on a few threads regarding which direction you have to turn the rods to unthread them from the wing. Several threads I read said to turn CLOCKWISE. Didn't work for my 997.1 - they unthread the usual direction - lefty loosie.

 

I just replaced my rams using the Porsche OEM parts. Was a very easy job and the cost from Sonen (around $1400) was not terrible. I was going to do the Techart rear spoiler/deck but what a price! Even the knockoff's are expensive after paint. In the end, my rams gave up after 12 years (my car is a 2001) and 38k miles so I think that is ok all things considering.

And to take them off you unscrew the rams by turning CLOCKWISE. You tighten them by turning COUNTERCLOCKWISE. The tool costs $23 from ZDMAK tools on ebay.

 

If you put something in the hole (like a screw or torque bit), you can usually tighten or loosen the rams by hand.

I just did my 997. I pulled the wing off with the OEM rams still connected and then set the wing upside down on my carpeted floor to unscrew the rams. With the wing in this position, the rams unscrewed by turning them counterclockwise out of the wing, as per normal lefty-loosey logic.

If one were to unscrew the rams while the wing was still attached to the rear deck lid then I can see how you might describe the unscrewing process as turning the rams clockwise.

Just sayin'.

 

Version 2.0 adjustable

 

wow wow wow! that looks awesome! definitely in for a set

 

I don't suppose that top piece can be machined to have the "slit" in it like the factory rams? I have an aftermarket "GT2 add on" wing, and the inserts are not removeable to swap with the factory ones.

 

Is this the hardware of interest? I like it, sure as heck beats the hydraulic set up and the $1500++ GT2 option.

email me - we should have them soon!

Yes... i no longer have 996 mounts. Only 3 997's. New, revised fix wing mount will be adjustable, email me for more info if you want to put a deposit at a discount

 

Will you be making/getting any more for the 996?

Great news. Anxiously waiting. What's the best way to eliminate the spoiler CEL with this setup?

 

Anybody received theirs yet? I am still waiting; payment made 2 months ago.

 

A word of caution on the fixed wing solution, if you go with certain aftermarket wings (such as Misha) it won't work. I made that mistake. The fixed wing is a screw type design to mate with the wing which works with the OEM stuff because the pin connection is an adapter that can be removed with a 14mm hex screw ratchet bit.

In no way am I saying either the ebworks product or the Misha Wing aren't good. I've found them to both be top tier quality, they just don't work together so the fixed wing kit is now a pretty paper weight.
