I have these two tins for the rear, why are they different? (holes and notch)
Are the differences year related or something else?  |

I think there are at least 3 different versions of this tin piece.
Can you post a good complete photo of each of yours to compare them? I have one I will add if its different than yours. |

What did Porsche decide to add or change to things poking through the rear tin? That's what I am wondering... The dirty tin pictured was in the car I bought "Ruby" ('73 2.0) from @fiacra The other with less holes from my rusted yellow '72 2.0 (profile pic) |
