    Question Can You Identify this Part?

    I had this part for sale and it was sold and the buyer backed out with concern that it would not fit his application on a SWB car. This came to me as part of a pair for LWB car couple years ago and I never checked it for size, luckily I only needed one for my car. Anyway the buyer that backed out decided this was an aftermarket part, granted it doesn't have the squared off end, it is the more rounded one. I thought it was a later production genuine Porsche part which have the more rounded ends like the LWB. What do I have here? I want to edit my for sale post so I describe it correctly. Thanks for your help.

    Couple more pictures, the bottom one is what I thought to be a SWB trim piece, top one is off a LWB car.

    It is a rear bumper trim, first found on 1967 911Ss. Yours looks to be in great shape, so it would be of value to somebody with an early SWB S.

    The rubber deco insert is slightly concave on the repro deco, the original deco is more convex, also the repro doesn't fit the curvature of the bumper.

    Thanks for your reply. I saw your other post about the oval hole in back but this piece is 1" inch shorter than the LWB deco strip, see picture above. This will not fit a LWB car.

    Mike, I suspect the lengths are closer than you think. try setting the repro on top of the other instead of behind it

    Boy do I feel stupid! It is the correct length for LWB.

    The one with the ceased T-Bolts is the original deco strip off my '71 Targa so both are same length.
