Here's what I see in that link:
1) the pedal stop should be nylon, not a bolt. If you're buying claimed "original" parts it logically follows that you should be provided with "original" hardware
2) the floor in a SWB car is different than a LWB car and therefore the pedal boards for one will not properly fit the other. Stoddard, being the reputable parts supplier that they are () should know this and market their products accordingly.
3) the cut on the Stoddard floorboard is wrong next to the gas pedal where the board sits on the tunnel and it is not accurate for a LWB coupe or targa
I dont feel I am proving your point at all where is the 275 dollar part? I imagine that the bolt is because the proper part is NLA. It does have a Porsche part number therefore is factory, maybe it is made in China and therefore doesn't fit I dont know. I am not going to get in a pissing contest over this because I don't need it, just market it for what it is a reproduction and price it accordingly not higher than the OEM price IMHO that is bad form. That said I will not respond to any more post let people make thier own choice and I hope you do well.
