Front scuttle repair

RobFrost · Post by **RobFrost** » Mon Nov 25, 2024 10:13 am

Does anyone know if there's a repair panel available for the channel that holds the rubber seal at the base of the front scuttle? I can see the whole thing is available, but I just have some corrosion in the base of the channel that holds the rubber seal at the top of the bonnet. Obviously I can fashion one but if one's available it'll save me some time. I had a good search but couldn't find one and I don't think it's worth £500 for the whole thing if I'm just using a tenth of it.

The corners are available Rob, Gary71 used a pair a few years ago.

I think his came from Rose Passion, but I'm sure Dansk do them, see below

Rose:
109 Euro each, # P71324/5 (handed parts)
Design911:
£90.62
59101700/1 (LH)
8 (RH)

The Dansk/Design911 items are stated to be off fresh tooling!

I used the restoration design parts for the corners which were a pretty good fit and made a short section for a bit in the middle. This was harder than it looked as it wasn’t straight!

Darn it, my corners are perfect. It's the centre channel that's corroded. I can see a day's work in making one up.

As Gary says, the centre section is a tease, did a few inches of mine a few years ago.

If you don't have holes in the lower front/ rear windscreen areas count yourself lucky....
