Special early 1964 features on 1965 cars

[pss]

Has anybody ever mentioned the small differences in seat hinges? If not, here goes.............
Notice the rubber flap vs the rubber bushing. I can't give specific details of when the change was made but the rubber flap is rarely seen on 911 seats. The knob is also unique.
Also notice that the seat with the flap (the early one) has perforated vinyl like a 356C seat. The rubber flap was also on 65 year model 356Cs.

Yep indeed, looks like the mechanism is much like 356. The plastic caps are also the 356 caps.

The "plastic caps" were used until 1968YM cars when they became black.

Are these plastic caps easy to find or do they make them again when restoring concours?
Because 9/10 cars don't have these anymore....

Here is the back of the front trunk cardboard piece, like I said it is the exact same material as the door cards except it is black/charcoal on the front and the door cards are silver on the front.

Be sure you get the right ones for your build month. They changed. As mentioned, during early 1965 months you need the 356 version . Later grey versions are not correct, even before they became black

as far as i remember they are vac formed plastic and the paint comes off very easily

I think you are correct. A better repro is ripe for the taking.
