Thanks everyone for the responses. Joris Koning mentioned Corey Johnson makes these items. How do I contact him to see about getting a set. I think David Jones is also on the hunt.

What started this thread are the photos in Neil's Book about Coupe Nr 103526, born in April 1958. The photos on pages 126/127 are reproduced below.

Trevor, you are correct, massive is the wrong word for what are thick-walled, welded together elbow pipes. In my fifty years of being in the Porsche parts business, I have never seen such elbows in the flesh; I have only seen the usual thin wall bent elbows.

However, the sequence of the part numbers for these elbows indicates four versions of elbows. The earliest has a suffix of "00", then on thru "03". So there were different versions of those elbows. I have no way to research the first two iterations. Does anybody have any Factory documentation about these?
