This is for a 914-6 so make sure you get the 3.5" bolt with the butterfly top.

That will not work on an early 914-6 with a 5 bolt Fuch spare, the bolt will not reach the female thread in the trunk floor.

The only other longer bolt I know of is for the 924/944.

You need a 3.5" length bolt to hold down a 5 lug fuch's spare for a 914-6, like this one:

Mike. . the one i pictured above in the original listing that is 2 3/4 inch came out of my 6 and it has plenty of thread to reach. . I'm using the original 14 inch 5.5 Fuchs. .
\not sure why it could use another 3/4 inch length. . maybe for a 15 x 6 inch Fuch ??

Doesn't the wheel face DOWN?

Correct, rim face down. .
Bump - still looking for the correct 'butterfly' bolt as picture in the first post.
