Hello.

I wonder if anyone can identify the following 356 repair panel
Any help gratefully received, as always : )

Cheers in advance.

Please note: I asked to identify two panels. The second turned out to be a front bumper support, so I've removed it. Thanks

The 2nd part - with the stickers on - must be something to do with the bumpers ("Stoßstange" is german for bumper).

Are those holes threaded (looks like they are) ?

Thanks Andy.

Just found this > http://www.restoration-design.eu/store/product/PP140A

Battery box bumper bracket for the second image.

Just need to identify the first now.I'm thinking somewhere around the rear, inner quarter. Maybe inner door pillar? I don't have my car here to search around it for something similar

Cheers

Does anyone have a bare 356 shell they might be able to compare to this panel? As mentioned above, I'm thinking interior / rear somewhere as the 'tabs' might correspond to a rubber or trim attachment.

Thanks in advance again : )

Thanks Andy & buzz808.

Andy. I can't get to it at the moment but need to get some other panels out tomorrow so will see if i can find it and measure.

buzz808 - That's kind of where I was imagining it to be from. It's frustrating not having my car here to take a look. Someone is kindly looking after it whilst i try to 'tidy up'

It was smaller than i thought, looking at the original picture i posted.

It's the top pillar of the lock post; from lock post to roof and has the seal in the recess on one side and the fittings for the rear quarterlight n the other.

Here are a couple of pictures to prove my (buzz808's) sleuthmanship(tm)
Thanks for the help all the same.
