    This here hole in the front trunk near the smugglers box?

    Hi there, new member here. Just starting to take apart things in my 911T '70 and noticed this hole in the front. Can someone tell me what it was for? (and what I should do) Thanks.

    Cars equipped with a Webasto heater had a duct in that spot.

    There should be a formed cover over the top, but over the years these have become loose and lost.

    Yes, thanks, I guess it's something I'll put on the to-do list. And thanks to all the replies.

    Robert Breshears (AppBiz) was going to reproduce these some years ago - don't know if he ever did.

    picture of cover

    here you go, black formed cardboard.
    note the central depression and the cutout for the drain tube at 10:00 position.
    glued in place.
    i thought it was from Appbiz too, but its not on his site.
    maybe send him an e-mail?

    Not sure, but I beleive Rennline makes some :

    http://www.rennline.com/911-fire-wal...fo/I40/SILVER/
    At least, you could contact them.

    I did some myself using 1mm Alloy, not a big deal to make. I used thick paper to draw the model, then mark it to the Alloy plate, cut, drilled the 2 holes 6 mm, polished, painted in black, place a washer (window one with adhesive), use two 5x30mm Allen screw and bolts. Done
    Took less then 30 minutes.

    Cheers
    Xavier

    I ended up finding mine rolling around in the trunk (in the crack above the gas tank).
