Re: H4 Lens BOSCHE for 1968 911L RHD

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the banter! Lucky I can't spell. What I need is a Bosch 7045 lens, not H4 as I now realise from replies to my post on Early 911S Regestry Forum (am I allowed to mention them?). I need a chrome ring too as the enlarged fixing hole on mine is causing problems when I'm fitting a...

Asked independent specialist to look at it when they were doing some other work. They replaced cable first, did not solve, then they re...

Early 911 floor covering (sound insulation?)

I have always wondered what the "horrible" black and fibre matting under the carpet of my 1968 911L was actually composed of. Mud and horse hair would be an unsympathetic description. Can anyone tell me? I presume it is for sound deadening. Also, is it supposed to be stuck to the floor pan...
