Porsche Parts Numbering Scheme
Porsche part numbers are in the form  aaa.bbb.ccc.dd

aaa = Chassis Type
                note - 900 and 999 apply to cross-platform parts - such as seals, o-rings, gaskets, etc.)
                note - the Porsche 911 was originally to be named the Porsche 901, but Audi was using similar numbers at the time,
                           so Porsche changed it to the Porsche 911 to avoid confusion. The parts numbers remain 901 in many cases, however.
                           The 1966 Porsche 912 is virtually identical to the 1966 Porsche 911, except for the smaller engine and transmission.

bbb = Type of Part
              ( for example,  all aaa.116.ccc.dd parts might be clutch parts)

ccc = Specific Part
                note - if the part has a left and right version, the 9th number will be odd (for left) or even (for right)
                i.e.   a front left brake rotor may be 901.351.143.60 and the right front brake rotor 901.351.144.60

dd = version or revision number (?)
