There is a corresponding part closer to the windshield. Could you also identify that part, anyone know where to get these parts?



Thanks in advance,



Jay

Larry, Really? The glove box was only a factory item on 92s? Weird, it sure makes the "under bonnet" area look cleaner.

Thanks for the part #s Eric. I think I'll order it at that price. It'll dress up the engine compartment.

The engine compartment covers were from '92 to early '94. Late '94 and '95 don't have them. Note that the front cover brackets are spot welded to the sheetmetal so there will be some minor drilling and pop riveting of the brackets to retrofit.



I think what Larry is refering to is the '92 model had subtle differences in the cover design. There is a symbol of a pair of gloves on the little hatch where you are supposed to store gloves. The '93 and '94 hatches are plain. Strange thing to change huh?

My '92 coupe has the cover, but no glove symbol on it. Was this a very early rare thing?

Yes some of the early 92 (91) 968's Had a glove image on the plastic peice, there were also things like flat 968 script rear insignia, and recessed Porsche crests on the hood that were only found on these early cars.

You may be able to find these parts from a salvage yard such as: Parts Heaven, Oklahoma Foreign Car Parts or 20th Street Auto Parts in Phoenix. They all have websites. Good luck, Bob Blackwell.

FWIW, my early '92 coupe (10/1/1991) has the glove image on the plastic piece, also flat scripted letters. Should have recessed hood badge too, but that went missing along the way <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Glove symbol and recessed hood badge here. 968 #205.



They clean it up, but I wonder why Porsche ditched that and the rear engine bay cover. Also, never used either on the race cars... Maybe I should pull them out <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Gene,



I don't want to hijack a thread, but if that is your car, I'm curious...do you also have the flat scripted "968" on the tail and recessed hood badge? Hijack over.



Thanks,

On my cab I had the gloves on the plastic cover, I also had flat "968" script, however my hood crest was not recessed.

I recently purchased a new Front Engine Cover Part Number 944-504-143-00-01C for $279.56 (w/o the gloves on the cover) and retrofit it on to my '94 968. It took 1.5 weeks to come in. The cover comes with the two bolts (1/4 turn fasteners) as part of the assembly so no need to order them. The metal brackets (Clamps) Part Number 999-507-386-07 were special ordered and took about 3 weeks to get from Germany due to back order. I think I paid $1.31 for each (two required per car) and I bolted them in place using 2 size 10mm head bolts, 4 washers and 2 nuts per side.



The brackets parts come factor primed in black and have a gold anodized spring clip insert for each part that the cover pins into. I installed the brackets on the cover first, positioned the cover in place in the engine compartment and then carefully marked the location for each bracket with a pencil. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> (Check yourself several times and then recheck again) I then took the parts off the car, removed the clamps (brackets), drilled the brackets first and then transferred the holes to the car (I recommend that you do pilot holes first so you can make minor adjustments if needed), then once in position, full size the holes. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> Don't forget to touch-up the bare metal holes with primer, and paint. I believe Epoxy Primer is the best (personal opinion) but any auto primer should work for you.



Anyone willing to give away or part with a used aft cover, please give send me an email. I'd like to put that on my car.

My '94 has both of the covers, fore and aft.

It appears they are original, mounts welded on.
