D-banger Posted 9October, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 9October, 2017 Hi @Peter M @DreamrYou guys are making the anorak in me come out, which I desperately try to depress My understanding, but happy to be corrected is as follows.The early 911 centre reflector had PORSCHE written in black lettering. Sometime around later SC or the introduction of the 3.2 the PORSCHE script changed to clear as above. Fixation remained the same. The "series II" 87 - 89 Carrera 3.2 introduced a new centre reflector that is identifiable by 2 reflector panels at each end and smaller clear PORSCHE script. This later version also uses clips to attach.This part for sale is genuine Bosch manufactured. If you ring PC parts you will find the part number is NLA and replaced by 911.631.432.03 and a price close to $1300 incl GST. 87 - 89 looks like the following, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, you may be correct and I'm happy for anyone to correct the information that I thought I knew .... I always thought that the pre '87 had black writing and they updated the reflector with the onset of the G50 gearbox .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond911 Posted 10October, 2017 Report Share Posted 10October, 2017 my '87 G50 has the two reflector panels at each end as per D-banger's clarification. I suspect the item for sale must be pre-87 as per D-banger's original description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepo Posted 10October, 2017 Report Share Posted 10October, 2017 I have an 85 3.2 and it is the black script with larger font. I understand these were used on SC and like @Dreamr says, 915 3.2's (84, 85 & 86). 1987 (G50) was the start of the smaller clear script as I understand. I thought there were only ever two versions and expect yours is the smaller clear 87-89 clear script Doug, not pre 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the item for sale must be pre-87 as per D-banger's original description.Pre 87 would mean before 87 (1986 and back) which is not your car and not Doug's item.Post (after) 86 or G50 Carrera is probably the best definition. GLWTS Doug, nice pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter M Posted 11October, 2017 Report Share Posted 11October, 2017 i guess we now don't need a thread on "The Definitive G series Centre Reflector" ?Doug,You're too late!This thread has made me realise that 3.2's came with 3 different types of reflectors as I've actually owned all 3!The black lettered ones for MY '84 & '85 (plus earlier SC's). Sorry I don't have the part number at hand but bought one second hand last year. It was date stamped March '85.The clear lettered version like yours for MY '86. Part No. 911.631.432.01The clear lettered, double reflector squares at each end and wider flanged top edge with simplified top only fixing method for MY '87, '88 & '89. Part No. 911.633.123.02So I apologise for my half baked earlier comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
