Hi Andrea
many thanks for that, do you know of anyone that reproduces these?
I'm pretty sure no one makes them. First they only built about 25ish cars, no way did Porsche spent the enormous amount of money to create a die to press them.
So they were all hand made, which means they were all different, even from side to side on the same car. Most R replica builders simply use a modified LWB fender flare and shape it to fit. Some use the GT Racing GRP flare as a guide to shaping a metal one.

Can anyone post some pics of the SWB R flares? Andreas? I have a SWB tub I am toying with making into a R hotrod.

I had presumed the flares started life as SWB (non) flares and were just metal-worked to get the correct R flare. Wouldn't that have been the easy way for the factory to produce such a few examples? I had contemplated doing the same on my 66 coupe R clone, but as I could already fit 15x7s with no issue, I didn't bother.
