917 Door and Lid Hardware

[Jack]

Does anyone know of a source for the lower door hinges and rear lid and spoiler hardware and latches?

60's Snow Ski Boot Bindings for the rear latch in center pic, cant help with others.

Jac Mac, I grew up in a ski lodge in Killington, VT in the '60s and never thought of that.

Thanks, Jack

yes the rear latches are cable type ski bindings. exact originals are unobtainium. Some latches were actually made of aluminum, rumor has it that the Hart ski racing team used the aluminum ones. door hinges are specific to 917. the hinge mechanism on the rear flaps were typically specific to the Wyer (Gulf) cars. they are not OEM porsche parts

The rear latches are from GEZE a german manufacturer located close to the porsche factory. I think the types name was "kandahar".

I have located some very similar ones
