Here are some pictures of the Water Drip Pan we removed from the 300090.
What is strange for me is that there is no reference: 901.571.231.23 / 90157123123
Any idea?
Thanks,
Philippe
Unfortunately the drain tube connection seems to have been cut:
I had a similar repro part on my '65 car, I believe all early "drip trays" should be fiberglass unpainted.
my records show that until car 1115 all cars had the polymer dripping pans. I think they experienced problems with this while water was leaking from the seam between the 2 halves. Then they switched to the fiberglass.
Great to see that the very early ones had a different design apparently.

Philippe, great thread !!!!
When restoring my gauges by THE Dutch VDO specialist, I had my trim rings replaced. He reproduced theses (brass/chrome). There seems no way to disassemble the gauges without damaging the rings. You cannot have them in yr sight all day long being dented.

For what it is worth, some comparison to early 1965. The 1964 versions have only 1 mount for the damper (blue circle), as I also see in early 1965. See picture of 300700. However my 700 version has a small console for the number, which I do not see on the 1964 versions. Will check the cast tomorrow. Later cars had a second mount where my console is (red circle).
Later cars have 2 mounts and I assumed this would be to use the rack for both LH and RH steered cars (?) Discussion was not concluded I think and I have little evidence on when this changed. At least before 1379, as this car has 2 mounts.
I posted this feature in the 'special 64 features on 65 cars' thread, post 316.
