WTB: Both (2) 914-6 engine compartment drain plugs.

I can't seem to find the part number (or proper name) any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance. Sumner

Auto Atlanta has them.

AvFuchs center cap fits nicely.

The ones I have seen from AA do not look like the original...they are black.

The part number is 914.559.243.10
Maybe @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=3348 can make these?

May be easier yet. Pretty sure the one pictured is commercially available. I can bring these in should be in the $4 a pop range maybe less.

Of course I could make them exactly like factory, but given the market is fairly tight as far as those that require them, may not make economical sense to do that. I've been proven wrong before.

Give me a day or so and I can see.
Mark

PS I think I have a sample too.

I'm pretty sure I have a pair from the 6 I had. Let me check.

I suspect that there are a few of us (I know of one person )looking for these....

Thanks Let me know.

Anyone know if the plastic was originally clear or if it was opaque? Or possibly more opaque but with exposure to solvents it made it more clear? @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=581 Brad any ideas here?

Ii was a translucent opaque white nylon color. . exactly like the plugs that go in the rear trunk floor
Any 'clearness' was due to the thinness of the plastic. . They were not yellow when new but aged that way

Based on mine and others I have seen, I don't think they were ever completely clear but translucent with an amber tint which may or may not have darkened a bit with age.

Posted by: gtgroupe4 Mar 19 2019, 10:47 AM

I believe it was opaque and yellowed over time.

914.559.243.10 is back ordered.

Posted by: Retroracer Mar 19 2019, 12:51 PM

Am in for qty 2 if someone can magic them into being.

The round rain tray tube plugs for 914-6 are part number 914 559 243 10, which were fitted stock to all factory 6 cars and likely be of interest to conversion projects and 4-cylinder cars with the rain tray removed. Our product development department actually has a few NOS examples, and they're semi-translucent white as mentioned above.

Product development has also been considering making the oval plugs used to close off the fuel line holes in the engine compartment when not being used, part number 914 559 245 10.

We agree with Mikey914; there's probably little or no profit in these considering the tooling cost, and would be break-even items at best. But someone should make them. If Mikey914 wants to make them, awesome. If it doesn't make sense for him, we could probably step up and get it done.

We'll keep an eye on this thread to see if we should proceed or not.

Andy,

Thank you very much. Payment sent.

This is what 45+ years does to the plugs. I have been looking for replacements for quite awhile and would love to have 914 Rubber come up with them. Willing to pay far more than $4.
Mark I think just about every 914-6 could use a set.

I need 24 of them as well as the fuel block off

Posted by: Rob-O Mar 25 2019, 10:27 PM

Holy Crap!!! You have twelve 914-6’s???

Posted by: banananose914 Mar 25 2019, 11:23 PM

Maybe closer to 16. And that may be a conservative number. He is nuts. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Jim.

Posted by: UROpartsman Mar 26 2019, 09:16 AM

Our head of product development has five 914's, which explains why we offer as many 914 parts as we do, lol.

My engine shelf only has two holes. So I guess I could use a set. I'd even pay $10 for the pair.
