    Upside down triangle

    I do not know what this symbol is and should. It is a upside down triangle with 2 symbols in it that could be a P and on almost all parts has this symbol?

    what you describe is the factory logo as applied to many parts (P for Porsche). IIRC, this was adopted at some point early on in the '900' series. the logo appears on many parts even if they don't carry a complete part number. (ie: shocks) does anyone have a better idea of when this began ?
