Hi all,

Yes, I am working on the hardware. If you don't know what I'm doing please see: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=115892. I have a several questions on the hardware since it Did Not Exist on my car or was Something Completely Different. My dad's car and the family car are a mishmash too. I've raided the locales and they don't have any of the hardware and some of it is available from Germany, but it would be about 3 weeks out at least. If you have original hardware I would be very interested in it. This will be updated frequently.

First Round!

Second Round!

1) What is the length of the bolt that attaches the door to the body? Hint: There are (6) of them per door

Special bolt. How many do you need? Free, just pay shipping.

While it won't answer questions about finish, the PET

http://www.porsche.com/all/media/pdf/originalparts/usa/914_USA_KATALOG.pdf

does answer questions about style, length and size of hardware.

For your door bolt question, PET figure 804-00 shows #54 111.899.145 hexagon-head bolt M 8 qty: 6

They have a black (annondized?) lock washer and a plated flat washer. On a '74 in factory paint, soon to be blasted.
