    Aluminum rear lid ; is there any good repro ???

    Hi,

    Since original are about 4k$, I found few options for repro, but pricing differences make may wonder if there is significant quality gap between them ? So far, I found :

    -TRE in California (from Europe ?) at 1700$
    -Eckert in Germany for 1020$ delivered
    -Restoration-Design in Ontario, Canada (supposed to be made in Poland) for 1265$
    -CarPoint in Germany (Tangerine911 on the bay) for 2175? plus shipping

    Is there 1-2 or more real manufacturers ?

    Does someone compared one of these vs an original one ?

    Please share your comments,

    Thanks, Regards
    JD

    I bought one through Autofarm Uk, suspect it is an Eckert item. It needed modifcation to fit but a huge weight saving See here for details and photos.

    They had to shave it down to get a good fit, and then weld it up. You can see how light the lid is in some of the photos.
