    Under bonnet 'heater cover' for a 66 swb

    Has anyone got a photo they could share of what the 'heater cover' - the hardboard plate that covers the back of the dash and clips into two slotted brackets on the bottom of the scuttle and slots behind two vertical metal tabs on the top of the bulkhead - looks like for a 1966 LHD swb.

    It had disappeared on my restoration and the one I got hold of is apparently for a later car despite being listed for 65-68. I need a clue as to what I'm looking for so I don't make the same mistake again. The PET only shows one version and yet the one I have doesn't line up with the tabs or the brackets on the scuttle.

    Thanks to all

    luggage compartment

    I seem to remember that SWB cars did not have a cardboard cover in the luggage compartment. There were two tabs welded under the cowl and the rug for the luggage area had two cuts in it and two short leather straps. You slipped the cuts in the rug over the tabs and put the leather strap through the tab. That was it.

    Actually, the 901 / 1964 911 did have one.

    Should be easy to find then! I think I have a couple spare if anyone wants one. $100 plus shipping from the UK.

    Sure enough the carpet has a couple of leather tabs that match the brackets on the scuttle. I thought it was odd that something was missing from this car, as everything else is present ..... well apart from the tool roll.

    Thanks guys.
