Next to the mascot are are 2 spare packets of the wiper blades in the back of the car, I think they are TEX/MAGNATEX too.

My guess is TRICO

Good point, Uli!
Could be TRICO wiper blades, but TRICO is a US company?
The equipment list describes it as "special antifrost windscreen wipers from England", but the spares could be a different brand.
Both the TRICO and TEX blades fit to the UK 7.2mm Bayonet type wiper arms.

TRICO rubber booted arctic winter wiper blades

Hello, pictures confirm Scheel racing buckets were fitted in T/R Group 3. In the Sport Purpose 68, there is no reference to Scheel, only Recaro bucket seat with kit 9553 and as an option a Recaro competition seat.

If Recaro bucket seat with kit 9553 is Recaro 4 legs shown by Claudius, I have never seen a Recaro competition seat. It may be a mistake and it is in fact a Scheel racing bucket wich should have been noted.

According to the homologation paper for 911T Gr. 3, Grand Tourisme, FIA Nr. 577, signed 01/01/1968, either the standard seats with a total weight of 15kg for both seats (Nr. 42 of FIA paper) or race buckets with a single seat weight of 8kg (Nr. 46. of the FIA paper) were allowed.

Hi Uli,
Could you weigh your driver side monte seat, I guess it's less than 8kg with and without the seat rails or??
1967 4 leg Recaro bucket with seat base without rail weighs 7.65kg
1968 4 leg Recaro bucket with headrest with seat base without rail weighs 8.70kg

Claudius

PS: This is what I mean when I say with seat base without rail:
