I believe they are still available from Porsche. part number 914.750.197.10. Pelican Parts lists them for $1.75 and says they are special order.

http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/91475019710/Definitely an "order in" part. Not something many places will have on the shelf.

I have a set of 6 I bought 1 1/2 years ago. If they were to be reproduced, is there a market?

Click to view attachmentHi Carrie!
Mark (Mikey 914) may already make these. I sent him a PM. I'm waiting for a reply.

World Impex and Vertexauto both show them available, looks like the cost is $1.50 plus any shipping.
Definately something you want to order enough of so that you at least match your shipping costs

The large white threaded wall anchors for hanging pictures. Exactly the right size, and screws into the hole tightly.
Of course, you have to buy a box of 24.

The only problem with that solution is that if you happen to catch your fingers between a closing headlight and the brow, your fingers will lose the fight every time. The grommets are designed to give if there is anything caught between the light and the brow. Fingers might still hurt and even break, but they will remain on your hand.

I really love to learn about retrofits, so thanks Bill (bandjoey).
I also love fingers, so thanks also to bigkensteele!

do we really need those stinking fingers anyway?
use what we can until we find the right part. I'm in for new ones if one of our vendors decides to make 'em.

I didn't know the brows were installed with rubber 'thingies' ... my '75 has nuts & bolts holding them in.
Thanks for posting the question ... I learn something new about these cars every day

I heard back from Mark. He has them. He told me he usually sells them as part of a kit but will sell them induvidually. I'm going to check into the kit and see what else is in it I may be able to use.

My 74 had nuts and bolts as well but that was wrong. AA sent me the right rubber part and then the fit became right up front!

If the aftermarket has them, and they're not being reproduced, they get them from the dealer, and it's likely they're marking them up. Have you called the dealer?

I sent Mark (Mikey914) a PM asking if I could add some to my gas tank seal order ... his answer was yes ...
A quantity of 6 is required per car.
