What type of a spare tire strap did the Convertible D come with. The woven fabric type like the Speedster or leather like the Coupe.
Thanks Mike

Re: Spare tire strap
I believe the answer is a bit more complicated as some Ds appeared to have the cloth strap - perhaps Porsche was using up old inventory? Here's a couple of photos of 86127 which was a very original, unrestored car. Note also the gray rubber under the hood handle.

I'll bet you're absolutely right; and the toolkit is likely worth more today than you paid for the car!Chuck House wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 1:49 pm ...some Ds appeared to have the cloth strap - perhaps Porsche was using up old inventory...
