    Yes Rick ... it was a required project in high school wood shop....
    Here is the lid liner .
    redyed and new elastic straps.
    I made the strap 240mm long and overlapped 40mm and sew the overlap.
    So it goes on like a band and then super glued to the back side.

    My car was imported by my brother-in-law in 1978.
    It turned out that the car was taken apart and repainted several times and was raced and fitted with rear flairs and a front air dam.
    The kardex said red interior but there was not a trace of red interior instead all black
    Except for one thing...
    This red "sock"..
    I am wondering if all the red interior cars had this red "sock"Name:  DSCN1441.jpg

    Or perhaps, more specifically, is the "sock" color coordinated with the interior color?
    The dealers could change out features on a car to make a sale. In the 356 days they would change engines on request to make a deal. I believe that ended once the engine code was embedded in the VIN for 1968, but there are always exceptions for Porsche's.

    so far i have heard from a few people and their red interior cars did not have this.
    could this be another "only1968 LUX" thing?
    or just a fluke?
