July 7, 201014 yr comment_324658 Door window squeegees would be good as well. Simple die, I would imagine. Right now you have to purchase the entire stainless steel moulding just to replace the rubber. At $200.00 for the pair, I'd happily pay $30.00 for the rubber and figure out how to attach them on my own.

July 7, 201014 yr comment_324659 By the way Rob, I have a client in Van Nuys that is does Porsche service and builds cars for racing. If you get me your guy's contact and an inventory of the parts, my guy will probably buy from him. They have a lot of 911's over there that are the same age as our Z's and are just as badly in need of new rubber.

July 8, 201014 yr comment_324695 How about the rubber "blocks" that are used to mount the fuel & brake lines along the firewall and also through the tranny tunnel? And also the rubber "blocks" that are on the clutch hard line and a few of the brake hard lines that have a metal clamp that mounts the line to the frame rail?

It's very similar to the original stuff. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/36114-who-needs-rubber/?&page=3#findComment-324719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 8, 201014 yr Author comment_324721 I have started with two very small insignificant - even available parts just to show what we can do. I will have a price estimate for these next week. The 15th or so...The round plugs that goes in the bottom of the rear hatch.The metal/rubber guide at each side of the body in the hatch area.Keep the suggestions coming. The idea is that we make something that looks factory enough to fool concour judges but in some cases is better. So what you got from Mcmaster Carr is nice but it is a compromise...

July 8, 201014 yr comment_324729 I would like to see some replacement boots for the hatch hinges. These are probably a bit more complex, but I've seen lots of interest over the years.

July 8, 201014 yr Author comment_324737 This made my morning and congratulations, that couldn't be easy.Steve the dude is completely insufferable. He has a crack in the plastic next to a bolt holding the raintray on under his engine lid. He has been searching the classifieds on three different Porsche websites and the PCA publication for a new or like new one for 10 years. He has even offered $1000 for it. It apparently was the only problem his car had until he discovered that the longitudinals on the sides were rusting out from the inside. He then promtly had chest pain and was admitted to the hospital for an angioplasty. The doc told him "you need to lighten up!" No??? Really???

July 10, 201014 yr comment_324886 I have 1 and 1/2 taillight seals. As you might guess, they are not NOS, in fact they are pretty hacked out but are still attached to a pair of taillights, which may be of some help in dimensioning. I'm still planning on the reunion in Sacramento next weekend, so I'll just bring'em along and let you decide if they are usable or not.Chris Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/36114-who-needs-rubber/?&page=3#findComment-324886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 10, 201014 yr Author comment_324890 Chris,They probably aren't usable. The better the beggining the better the end. I have my own I could take off... They are probably in better shape than most.

They are probably in better shape than most.I'll bring 'em anyway. They are attached to a spare pair of taillights, not the ones on the car.Chris Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/36114-who-needs-rubber/?&page=3#findComment-325064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
