Singer style ducktail
 
I'm looking for some advise about getting a singer style ducktail for my 1986 cabriolet. My concern is:
Will the third brake light interfere with opening the engine lid?
Would I be able to use my existing condenser?
Most importantly, where can I find one?

They're a modified 964 OEM spoiler so in theory if you bought an engine lid and tail from a breaking yard you could make your own.

Molding that extra lip on the end would be doable IMO.

Third brake light: If the lid opens now with it there, it shouldn't change with a 964 lid. The shape and size of the two lids are very similar on the outside.

Existing condenser: No. The mechanism to raise and lower the spoiler is incompatible with the factory AC condenser in the engine lid.

Where can you find one?: No idea. Sc_Ruf has basically the only idea that would probably work. I know of no one that makes a 964 grill/spoiler of any type. The factory ones have a habit of developing cracks in the plastic grill surround near the corners. If someone made a fibreglass replacement, you could probably graft on an extension to be similar to Singer's. And make people that currently have a cracked 964 spoiler happy.

Thanks Peter and Kevin.

964 deck lid + this and a lot of molding could be a solution.
