Jay Leno's Garage: 1971 911T
    
    We've been following car enthusiast Jay Leno and his new show religiously.  Jay Leno's Garage is a nice combination of car enthusiasm, project cars and Jay's signature humor.   

    His latest video that he posted on Facebook shows his latest project cars, including a very original 1971 911T—It debuts around the 5 minute mark.  You can find it here:  
 Jay Leno's Garage

914-503-943-10-SIC Left Roof Pillar Repair Panel

914 Sail Panels Now Being Made! 
    
    914s can rust in some unusual spots.  The viny-covered roof buttresses on the targa top can get pretty nasty.  It's a combination of some bracing and foam sound deadening behind the metal work that traps moisture, as well as the trim holes vinyl causing little pockets of corrosion that quickly spread. 
      We sent off an original N.O.S. 914 full quarter panel to be digitally scanned for the production of this part, so you know it's spot-on! The piece includes the full sail, as well as the door handle indentation and the top portion of the quarter.   We, of course, have both left and right pieces.

Early 356 Interior Mirrors
   

   The Pre-A 356 had some great detail bits in the interior—some shiny and others not.  We especially like the rear view mirror.  It has a satin aluminum body with a chromed mounting stalk.  The contrasting finishes add to the art deco feel of these earliest of Porsches.   We now have these Pre-A mirrors in stock here in our Ohio warehouse.

901-628-792-21 Washer Pump and Bottle Felt Pad Kit
Washer Felt Kit

  The Factory didn't just slap the washer bottle and pumps into place on the early 911 and 912s,  they took care to cut out small pieces of grey felt to cushion them and prevent abrasion from vibration. We know you want to take the same care when reassembling your early short wheelbase car so we are offering a two piece kit that has the exact size felt pads that you need!

Quick Tip: Tightening 356 Switch Bezels
   

   Here’s a tip on the care and feeding of 356 switch bezels. Oftentimes, the original bezels have been damaged by tightening with improper tools. The preferred tightening method is to turn the switch one-half turn counter clockwise from its proper position, apply the nut until its snug and hold it while turning the switch forward to lock the nut in place; final tightening can be done by carefully driving a small punch at an angle in one of the holes.
