    I looked this morning, and the only places I could find them were Aase and CarBone. I assume Aase is selling the CarBone sticker. They are the same price.

    Porsche still has the later style with words as 901-559-330-01. The early style with pictographs (901-559-330-00) is superseded by the wordy version.

    Pelican sells the Car Bone stickers, SMC has Jörg which they describe as the proper metal/decal type. I've seen some replacements that were just thin vinyl. I don't know whether the Car Bone are the thick metal backed or not.

    The plot thickens. I finally got out and checked my car, a '69, and I do indeed have the clamshell stickers. However, mine are different; the triangles, rather than being green, are a soft silvery color. Was that an earlier version, still used on the '69? Or was that a one-year-only thing, specific to '69? Or were the triangles always green and the color has completely faded away on mine?

    That's my guess as well, Rich.

    That's my guess too. Now the question is whether or not to replace the original stickers with repros (which I already have).
