Talisman ?
Yup. Lead's right. Passed Safety Check.

Lead wire inspection seals put there by team or by track inspectors to signify completion of safety or mechanical inspection.
So cool, thanks!
I guess I will need to get a few of those to go with the replica grille badges ;-)
I reckon this guy is attaching inspection seals...

What a cool detail. Here are more pics of this car (0089, the penultimate, which I happened to have in an open tab). I hadn't noticed those!

Nice site and beautiful car!
Thanks Ed. Those are some REALLY nice shots, and in white too! Oh the heresy!
I also noticed the correct, factory speedo location, on the LEFT!
Yes. Left is correct on a Spyder. I didn't know that was in question.
It's not for you and I, Ed.
But some(Speedster) folks have suggested it's wrong over the years.
@edsnova , @DannyP
just to throw a curve ball as to what is correct placement,
how about a for a door handle

I've never seen a handle there, that's a first for me.

Leave it to Porsche to over complicate things.
In related news, I finally got over to look at Rick’s new Spyders. Both very nice. His 550 is a Thunder Ranch and his door latches are completely hidden back at the back. Simple thing to stick a finger in and open the door. I really like it.
Mine has the old TR-2 or MG-TD door handles.

Kind of like the old hot rodder Lincoln door buttons?

No, the latch handle is a little L hidden behind the door skin. You reach into the void and pull to open it.
