It is said that Porsche Classic has started supplying spare parts for indicators and tail lights for Porsche 911/912 models (up to 1968 model).
The light unit is made in collaboration with Bosch Classic, which was the original parts supplier at that time, and it seems that it will be made with as much reproducibility as possible, and when the American version and the European version are made That.
As a result, all taillight units for the Classic Porsche 911 model (up to 996 type) can be ordered from Porsche dealers all over the world.
That means that you can also order this part from a Porsche Classic dealer in Japan ^ ^
This time, the newly prepared short wheelbase Porsche 911 light unit will be as similar as possible to the lights installed at the factory at that time, while complying with the current standards and tests anyway. It seems that he did his best.
All materials and lenses, including die-cast zinc housing (Zamak Alloy), match the original specifications of 1964.
It seems that other detailed specifications are also faithful to the original, such as the Bosch mark on the lens, the carved design of the reverse light, and the reflective Cat's Eye made from a single part. , And all the double screw connections that connect the light to the body and so on.
It seems that most of these parts are manufactured by hand, as they were 50 years ago.
The European version of the lens is painted by hand (the American version is a red lens, which uses colored granules).
Furthermore, it seems that the individual parts of the light unit are also manually attached.
It is said that the country-specific part numbers attached to the die-cast zinc housing are also manually attached ... Yes, as it was originally when it was the original.
Actually, it seems that the winker and tail light for this short wheelbase Porsche 911 model have not been used as Porsche's original spare parts since the 1990s.
So, until now, customers had to look for (new but) old inventory or used parts.
That means that you can now order normally from this time. Good news for those who own an air-cooled Porsche 911 until the 1968 model ^ ^
