The complete set is available at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sets/72157603473824854 I am friends with the owner of an early Porsche restoration shop called Porstoration. He somehow acquired these guards and gave them to me. I am thinking about using them on my 63 sunroof, but I wanted to learn a little more about the guards.
