Rear Bumper & Tailpipe Positioning on a 64C

Post by Strictly »

Im struggling with the bumper and exhaust tail pipe positioning on my 64C, i understand its a case of suck it and see but i cant really find any photos to help me.

--- Tail Pipes

I understand the actual tail pipe ends go through the over riders, but what about the tail pipes, are then kinda bent so you cant see them, or do they run parallel with the bumper? I cant find any pictures of a 356C with any of the exhaust/tail pipe showing, so i can only assume that the tail pipes themselves need to be hidden some how, with only the ends showing through the overriders?

Ill post a pic 2moro when im in my workshop, but at the moment just wondering if any one knows, i'll then try and position accordingly and see if you think that is right with a better photo...

--- Bumper

Ive more or less got the bumper right, just not sure if it should sit quite high, or in the middle (im speaking vertically). ??? Any comment/tips?

Im suprised porsche put in about 6 adjustments on the bumper brackets (up/down, left/right and back/forth). Sheesh, why so many?! Ive never seen that on a car before!

ok heres a picture. So which is right position for the tailpipe? The left or right tailpipe? Im guessing the one on the left (the crooked one)...what ya reckon?

I know its a bit petty, but i may as well put the car together as it should look, right.
