Slantnose Parts?

[brimcc]

I am restoring my slantnose and and looking for body parts. The person that owned it befor me painted all the rubber body parts. I am looking for the the rubber strips that go between the body panels.

Any websites that sell after market parts for these kit?

Check out our hosts catalog or download a copy of the PET catalog to help identify the part numbers of the items that you need; most are probably still available and can be order from a dealer.

PET is the Porsche Part Catalog fo all they Model/Year. Not easy to navigate but give it a try: http://www.pelicanparts.com/PartsLookup/Parts_Lookup_Main_Page.htm

You can always post a photo of the part you need and someone will pipe up.

If the rubber parts are still good but covered in paint, maybe you could strip the paint off?

No one seems to be able to tell me how or what to use to remove the paint. A razor blade on all rubber would take many, many hours to do. Rubber is fine under all the paint

I used lacquer thinner and Qtips on all the overspray places where the idiot PO had the car painted without removing things first. If the rubber is hard like the bellows, I would think this would work just fine (I still have to remove the overspray from mine). I used this procedure on the rubber seals around all windows and it works. It just takes time. You could also try the hard plastic trim removal tools. I think you'll find it'll start chipping off the rubber if it is flexible at all. If it's hard plastic like fog light covers, it takes time and a ton of Qtips because the paint doesn't chip and has to be rubbed off.
