Can someone identify this part?

[Trakrat]

It looks like some kind of jack placement mount, but I am missing on my passenger side.
I'd like to just replace both of them... opinions?
Any idea what this is called so that I can see if our host sells these or some other supplier??

Thanks!

Unfortunately anything I search on a jack receiver seems to be for the jacking location along the rocker panels. Not this part located under the car near the rear sway bar mount.

Btw , a lot of euro cars see problems with rust under the lifting pad , to the point you can poke a hole through by pushing a screwdriver in the hole in the lifting pad
Seeing as your has damage in that area , I’d drill out the spotwelds holding on the lift pad , and remove it to see if any repairs are needed before you weld a new pad on ....

I’d also by a jacking puck whilst you’re buying the repair piece , as unless you have a lift an hydraulic floor jack can slip and slide a little when lifting . An aftermarket “puck” helps secure the jack into the hole in the lifting pad .

It was a part that got added on around 1987 iirc , the year your car is .

Try searching lift reliever , or lift pad .

Thanks... The passenger side is missing this piece and there are holes in the bottom where this piece probably used to be... that's why I need to find it and order a couple to replace them both.
Trying to find it on the interwebz seems to show that the same mount style was used on later model 911s as well.
I contacted some other well known vendors that supply restoration sheet metal and even they want me to send a picture to figure out what it is.

Tell them you’re talking about the lift pads porsche fitted around 87 to enable cars to be lifted on 2-post lifts .

Or maybe try an email to England where this area is being repaired all the time ?
Tutthills , canfords , brays etc will know what you’re talking about straight away ....

I’m now on an iPad so can’t get pet , so the best I can do is get links to the places mentioned above .

Yep... it is definitely a trap for road debris.
Just wish I knew the actual part # for it... Being that it is a common place for rust, I'm surprised this part isn't as common as the jacking point tube along the rockers.

If you get in touch with them guys and explain your in Usa , but an ex-uk guy recommended them they should give you the info even if they don’t sell them you .

i believe this is what you are looking for but not 100% positive.if you have access to PET go to illustration 801-20 for 1987 911 between pos.7 and pos. 10 you will find part# 911 507 535 00(LS) and part # 911 501 836 00 (RS), description is bracket for jacking point. there is no illustration or pos. # hope this helps, richard
