front bumper leading edge rubber
I have a slight dilemma and I know someone has the answer. I have a 1973.5 911T with an "S" front bumper with the spoiler. The car was originally equipped with those hideous black foam front/rear bumperettes. I recently located and bought the rather rare black metal front and rear bumperettes that apparently were available of Euro models.
The rears fit fine but the fronts are a bit narrower than the foam units and thus, the black bumper edge rubber doesn't fit properly. I'm not sure if the rubber has shrunk or if it requires a different piece. Can anyone direct me to the correct replacement rubber bumper edge material such as the 1 piece I've seen on other cars that I can either cut to fit properly or if it's in 3 pieces will fit the narrower metal bumperettes. In my parts book, it indicates that there is a narrow and wide version and I'm not sure what I have. Attached are photo's that should help in identifying what I need. The first photo shows the difference in width between the installed foam bumperette and the black metal bumperette. The second photo shows a bit more of the front leading edge rubber bumper material. thanks in advance. ps. If you have decent front bumper edge material that I need, let me know
