Trunk liner T6B and C

[David Jones]

What is the difference between these two other than the price? How do you tell an original from a repro?

In your title you mention T5, which is just like your A under the hood.
Here the cheaper one’s part number starts out with NLA which means it is a repro. It looks a tad rough around the Porsche lettering. The other one has an actual factory part number meaning it is a factory part.
Around 1975 I had my liner out and looked at it and thought it was so junky that I should throw it away. It probably is the lowest quality part on a 356. Now that I have a nice car it does rub me the wrong way to pay hundreds of dollars for such a piece although now I wish I had one. I NEVER show the car so it may end up with a piece of black carpet.

Sorry Martin, I edited my post so yours does not make as much sense now. I also see that the part of the liner that goes under the tire strap holder is also different. I did not see the difference in part #'s. I thought the one in my "C" was a repro though I cannot remember where I bought it but I do remember it was not cheap and as it has a 644 number on it I guess it must be an original.

Actually the front center part of the repro is a slight improvement over the factory one that looks like someone got after it with scissors.

The Factory part is actually for only the 356C which allows clearance of the 356C master cylinder reservoir. The Stoddard NLA part is actually the more complete part for T-6's with instructions for 356C applications, i.e. cutting away the master cyl reservoir clearance and also the detail where the tire strap goes. Take your choice especially on the price.
