    Faktory Battery Cut-off . . .

    . . . 'double-pull' . . .

Both operated the Bosch switch to cut power to the battery . . .

    Always struck by these images --- the kinds o' 'fixes' Porsche employed to make their cars stiffer/stronger/better . . .

    . . . more hewn, carved almost --- vs crafted


    Compare these changes to most 'restorations' . . .


    . . . or re-imaginations

    Looks like that 71 ST picture in post 21 was made from a modified SWB car.

    Do tell, Ed --- what makes you say that this is/was once a SWB? . . .

    I have 0.001% of Ed’s experience, but the fuse/relay cluster looks a lot like my ‘68, while my ‘69 has the dual fuse boxes next to the battery. Other than that, it looks nothing like either of my cars trunks...

    Yep, the fuse relay panel, the depression on the trunk floor next to the fuse panel that is now filled with a fake panel. That depression was for the steering shaft brace on a SWB, and the battery location. And the speedo cable location.
