hugh Posted 18February, 2019 Report Share Posted 18February, 2019 Hi, I'm chasing a 76-77 Carrera 3.0 tail ideally with rubber lip attached. Any leads would be appreciated. Cheers, Hugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am considering replacing it with a standard one. Let me know if your engine lid would fit. Thank you Rory 44 minutes ago, hugh said: Hugh, Suggest you contact Rory and see if he still has it.

Troubleshooter Posted 18February, 2019 Report Share Posted 18February, 2019 Hugh this came up a few days ago, sounds very cheap. Not my line of expertise, I have no idea if it's anywhere near a correct one or what you're after... https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/westminster/cars-vans-utes/porsche-911-wale-tail-only/1210245868 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 19February, 2019 Report Share Posted 19February, 2019 I have one. But it comes with a car attached, and would be expensive. Sorry, that wasn't very helpful was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure it's not rusty inside the rubber sections and that the mounting studs are all there not snapped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt really soft too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm far from an authority on this, but it *is* my favourite 911 tail, so here is what I know: 1975-77 3.0 turbo - tail with 'normal' grille and secondary larger grille. I *think* all 930s came with AC standard. There was a internal FG shroud from the second grill down to the fan, which is what I understand to be the driver in the size difference. 1975-77 Carrera 3.0 - same shape but single grill - no AC (also some 74s - I don't know if a duck was ever standard on a 74) 1975-77 Carrera 3.0 - AC with small grill - same as Mike's above. Also fitted to the US only 1980 Weissach edition, which was a standard SC with tail and sports seats. However, this had standard AC fitted but no second grille To make it confusing the RSR also had a second grill in a bigger tail, I don't know what that was for - i'm guessing not AC Finding the part numbers is apparently a challenge, because like seats, there are only component part numbers not assembly part numbers.

OZ930 Posted 20February, 2019 Report Share Posted 20February, 2019 I thought the smallest grill was for an auxilliary oil cooler mounted in the tail, as shown on the RSR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
