    Wheel housing metal parts - very hard to find - any source in the world?

    Before taking the decision to have these 3 parts custom made, I would like to raise the question to the global experts

    I am looking for 3 parts for a MY 1973 911 Targa. Two to be attached to the inner fender/wheel housing. One to be attached to the tank support.

    1/ the long support with the slot for the fuse cover board* (not the short one as on the metal green picture at the bottom!)
    2/ the strenghtening part* at the front of the wheel housing (I need the LEFT side, not the RIGHT side as mentioned on the picture)
    3/ the small L-bracket also keeping in place the fuse cover board

    (*) The new wheel housings by Porsche have the strenghtening part (item 2) (http://www.rosepassion.com/en/cat/po...-left/P15861): however it seems impossible to get only the strenghtening part. The long support (item 1) is not welded to the new wheel housings.

    Can anyone help me out please? If not I will have them custom made. These are the last bits to finalize the body work on my project. Thanks a lot for any help!

    Part 2 is the one used on the new wheel housings available:

    http://www.rosepassion.com/en/cat/po...nt-left/P15861

    So, somewhere in a factory where these are made or welded to the wheel housing, there must be a basket with left side strenghtening parts. But where might that basket be?

    The Aase Sales 73 car is already used for another project.

    Hi all,

    In the end I decided to stop searching. We will make these parts ourselves (making exact copies) for our project.

    A lock can be put on this topic.

    Thanks a lot to moito and ret9191. Next to you, this topic only attracted a number of scammers I immediately reported !
