DEVIL IN THE DETAILS

When it comes to full restorations, or just keeping that old timer on top form, it’s the little things that can make the difference. Like these rear spring plate covers for early 911s including Turbo models from 1965 through to 1989, and also 912 models from 1965 to 1969. Offered by Heritage Parts Centre, they’re constructed from stainless steel to prevent corrosion, but also cadmium plated to give a completely OE appearance. Sold individually, the part is the same for both left and right spring plates. If new bushes are also required, Heritage has those along with a huge array of minor and major parts and pieces for just about every air-cooled 911. The spring plates covers come in at £36.95 including VAT, but you can find out more from www.vwheritage.com.
