I've been searching for 4 years now for an early rain tray. I have my original, but it is trash because it split at one of the mountings. And, there is NO glue that will put it back together. Porsche used some sort of imperious plastic for these things!
I just counted them up (the responses indicating that the HAVE ONE & IT'S PERFECT) 87! Guess how many of the 87 had the proper part - 3! Guess how many had a useable part? ZERO! Isn't there someone out there with a flat bottomed rain tray that they want to make some money on? Yeah, I know, this doesn't belong on this forum. I'm desperate & about to give up! Please ..... help me! You can flame away after I find one..... Never mind - doesn't belong on this forum. Sorry. Desperate! Pat |

Noooooooooooooooooo! Darth Garveys' Achilles heel has been repaired! Noooooooooooooooooo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have more "heels" than a foot fetish convention, but this one was the worst. The majors left are proper, period-correct and sized tires, and getting Eric to redo my calipers. The tires will have to come from Coker, I'll need 5, and they'll be way overpriced. The brakes are 35 years old, and although they've never given a hint of failure, the rears are nearly impossible to pad-adjust. They also need to have a proper finish put back on them. These will also be not cheap, but worth every penny. Also thinking about replacing the rotors, though they have less than 10k on them. Don't like the stupid paintwork I put on them when they were new (don't evean ask how many years ago!). Oh, yeah - I have "heels". Some of you will have to find them in Charlotte next year. If you do, it's forbidden to snitch to the judges. Remember, I have a lot of "contacts" in South Philly. I could get Vinny or Joey to bodyguard my car. Pat |
