Roadster Shark Teeth

#1 Post by JohnPierce »

I am restoring my Roadster shark teeth and latches. Were they originally chrome plated? Parts #10 and 11 below. The Porsche Parts Catalog lists the screws as chrome plated so I imagine the latches and teeth were also, but just double checking.

Thanks.

I'm not sure about the teeth. I painted mine to match the car. I have extra sets if anyone needs a set. ………………….Jim
