Re: 1953 Porsche parts manual
Spencer Harris just generously donated a PDF of the supplement for the Registry website. I will put in on the site tomorrow. Spencer has contributed many documents to the Registry library for the community to use. Thank you again Spencer.

Re: 1953 Porsche parts manual
I'm pretty sure the supplement to the 53 manual came from James Davies. We've swapped and shared multiple factory manuals over the years, and James is very generous in sharing his knowledge and documentation.

Re: 1953 Porsche parts manual
I scanned the PDF from a paper photocopy that Alan Hall gave me. Thanks Alan!
And to be clear, this is a 1954 supplement to the March 1953 Parts Catalog, i.e. Parts Catalog I. I.e the first parts catalog was published in March 1953, and its information is mostly from 1952 at the latest. The supplement was published in 1954 (late or early 1955) and updates it with info for 1953 and 1954, mostly engine and gearbox related.
