  2. Uses you existing factory knob.
  3. The large white hash mark on your thermostat knob will now point at approximately 12:30 o'clock when the knob is turned fully left to the off position. If this is an issue for you, you are entering your car in Concours d'Elegance show, well simply remove the white hash mark on your knob and paint on a new one.  If we are judging the show event buy us a cold Becks, or give us a Mulligan on the front nine and we will just pass over the novelty.

    Pain to install, works great.

    Griffiths response:
    Al, yes, the thermostat is a pita, however, we did not design the layout. But, I think will find our installation instructions are much better than the factory ones. Stay Kuehl, Griff.

    Well made product with great installation instructions like all of Griffiths products. The only switch left on the market that does not require modifying the center console to fit it

    Solid replacement for the original that had been damaged at some point during work behind the center console.

    This was the final piece in a ’83 911SC system replacement by Griffiths, which took place over two summers. New Kuehl compressor, barrier lines, blower fans, Kuehl evaporator, and finally this thermostat control switch. Each piece is obviously high quality and an improvement over the stock components, and I can honestly say the car has never cooled this well in our mid-summer Florida heat. Griffiths high-efficiency evaporator has lowered temps noticeably, and the new blower fans send that colder air around my cabin much better than ever before. I am extremely satisfied, and Charlie was very helpful during the process. Highly recommended!

    The thermostat install instructions and the size made it super easy to install, cut the little window in the control housing and it fit like a glove, way better than the stupid updated factory one that doesn’t even fit in the housing.

    Another satisfied customer!

    Worked like a champ. Would have been nice if the shaft was the same size as original so I could use the original nut, but not a show stopper.

    Much recommended product. Very detailed installation instruction and the clear plastic sheath tube protects the aluminum tube from bending sharply, when pulling through tight spaces.

    The thermostat fit perfectly in my early 911 Behr air conditioning unit, even better than the Porsche-sourced replacement thermostat I had before. The adjustment range is greatly improved over what I had before, with the minimum cool setting allowing air flow without the compressor switching on. Great product!

    The alignment mark on the control knob doesn’t line up with the marks on the console. Also some modification was required to make it fit. The controller works perfect!

    • Griff –

      Yes, you have to enlarge the hole where the new thermostat shaft goes through the bezel or console. As noted in the installation instructions.
      Yes, the factory silk screened white hash marks do not perfectly align (white hash mark on knob will now be at 8-9 o’clock in ‘off’ position.

    Was fairly easy to install after I figured out how to take the console apart. The marking on the knob did not line up so I scraped off the original white line on the knob with a sharp knife and used white paint to make one that matched the settings. Easy to do. Thanks for crediting me for the one that turned hard. The AC works great now. 100 degrees outside and central vent temp is 42. I am a happy DIY.
