WTB Deck Lid for my 69 E

[tobygiles]

I need a good steel deck lid for my 69 911E Thinking around $500 can anyone help. I am in Melbourne so would prefer local so I can inspect prior to purchase.

Hi Toby
Try David at Allsport parts 0419130 077

Thank you, I will.

toby,
pretty sure 69 is one year only lid to suit mountings for 3 bar grille- john or tony might chime in here.

Yeah late 68 and 69 have the "3 bar grill" arrangement. All can be converted/modified to suit if you're not super anal about it. Toby, do you have the correct grill or are you just trying to get rid of a whale-tale/modification?

I can post photos of the differences if you need?

I would john....cheers Julian

I have the correct grill that needs restoring, it has been painted black. I just need a steel deck lid preferably from a sportomatic with the badge still in situ.

Toby, the advice to call Dave at Allsports might be worth while... I sold him my 68S Targa shell a few months ago. I threw in my original 69 rear lid which was once a sporto and has all the holes remaining. There was some rust in the frame, but nothing a pro couldn't resolve.

Julian, I'll send you some photos of the differences. Despite the various changes, it's clear all were pressed from the same dies and so minor metal work will make a "5 bar" look like a "3 Bar" and vice versa. They only become distinctly different in much later lids. Currently on the road to Roma Qld at the moment and won't be back to my computer until later in the week.

It's a pity you did not see this.

I thought about buying it but it seemed to me that it is a later lid with the tabs removed, judging by the profile of the metal adjacent to the position the tabs would be in a 5 bar grille.

I did but got the last second finger panics and it ended prior to my bid going in...the risk of sniping.

I think I have one, a chap in Queensland has called me. He says he has a mint 69 lid with a gold sportomatic badge. I am just waiting for pictures

I stand to be corrected, but I think the 69 "sportomatic" is plain silver
