WTB: Rear engine tin for early '67 911S….

[Silverbullit]

Well, I don't know when I'll ever find one, so can this piece be installed after the motor is in? I wouldn't be driving for a while yet, Thx

[Silverbullit]

Still on the hunt for this much-needed piece. Any help/leads? Thx

Did you try the bird? I found my tin there. What is the specific application your looking for? 67s? I have a couple of people I can ask. PM or email me.

I think it's a '65 thru early '67 part, has dip on left to clear fuel pump boss in timing chain cover. Thanks

Brian, You got mail.

Thanks, as do you

Well, through the sheer goodness of a board member here, I now have my much needed tin piece. It needs to be rubbed on a bit, but eventually it'll be perfect.
This kind soul was generous enough that he sent it to me for no charge….that's right, not a penny!
He had a part he didn't need, was a touch rough, and shipped it to someone who could use it, without any lengthy price/valuation analysis, no "due-diligence", no interest in "setting the market" price…..just one Porsche enthusiast helping out another!
Now that's refreshing.
I encourage all to ponder this post, and perhaps rediscover what got you into this 'hobby' in the first place.

Brian,

Good to hear that you got your piece. I appreciate you selling me your old but nicely refreshed tin one for a reasonable price. It amazes me that some of the professional "hobby" sellers on this forum can't see the forest for the trees, such as a trying to sell a nice 69 E MFI pump for a couple of thousand and then selling a needs to be rebuilt POS 69 S MFI pump for twice the amount, same very proud and loud forum seller!

Regards,

Dan

There are a few professional Hobby sellers that consistently ask almost double market value for their parts here...sometimes at ridiculous levels. Not much lovin from them... So Brian, now I feel bad for selling you that fuel tank
