The 930 part has the large cutout for the a/c condenser ducting so you won't be gaining much.
Try either of the first 2 |

Here is a pic of the small grill opening. it had clips on the corners for screws, plus the center had holes as seen...one with what looks like what's left of a rivit. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1430176375.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1430176407.jpg |
I'll see if I can get a good shot of that area.

Does anyone make a good reproduction version of this tail?
What about the rubber part? Thanks, |
There are reproductions of the tail, but the rubber lip has been NLA for a long time now - good luck finding a nice example. Whoever tools up to reproduce the rubber lip will probably do well, given the popularity of this tail. The approach I have taken is to use a one-piece tail where the lip is rendered in fiberglass and integrated into the main body - it can always be painted with a satin paint to mimic the original rubber, which is what I will try to do. I like the fact that I can repair fiberglass and repaint in the future, whereas the rubber lips tend to warp/sag and the metal spine inside them is prone to corrosion. I've also seen very few examples where the rubber seamlessly meets the fiberglass base.
This is the style of tail I am referring to: http://www.f-s-h.com/contents/media/l_tk_107a.jpg http://www.f-s-h.com/contents/media/l_tk_107c.jpg Quote:

This is the one I want but I don't think it got beyond the prototype stage. (NOTE: The hooks and clamp. This is easily removable) Has anyone seen one of these in real life? |

Betterbodies, down here in San Diego has a mold for the 2nd-grille-less tail, as used on the early Carrera. They don't advertise it on their website but I've seen it in their store and they said they could make one for $500. I have no idea what the quality/fitment is like.
|
Hmm, I don't seem to recall much good feedback on Betterbodies stuff. But might have to chance it.

Thanks Ferrino.
Any other companies making a good reproduction of this tail? Bert Quote:

Repro tail
Mine looks like repro from gt racing but i may be wrong. I just had the tail lip painted black so it would look like rubber:D
Oops looking at the pictures above mine did not come with 2nd grilles so definitely not gt racing. mine looks like weissach repros no markings since last time i checked |
