914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Side Shift Dust Boot?
Posted by: dcecc1968 Jul 29 2015, 07:54 AM
I was replacing my throttle cable last weekend and noticed that this dust cover was missing. Pelican diagram calls it a "Side Shift Linkage Dust Hoot" (not sure if that is a misspelling of "Boot"). Having a hard time finding them for sale new, so not sure if available
Are these available repop or new (....914 Rubber?) or should I put a WTB in classifieds?
Thanks,
Don

after you find one, i'd replace #25 before you button it up. prob #23 as well. for the clamp, #21?, you can use a stainless screw type found in the plumbing section at your local hardware store.

Somebody reproduces them.

IIRC, 914 rubber was making them.

914Rubber is doing a reproduction....I think it's still in progress of production though.

BTW - it's a typo, that's a boot or sometimes called a cover.
FYI - you can go to the Porsche website's Classics area & it's documents, & download a free pdf 914 PET parts catalog with all of those diagrams & part numbers, & strange German > English translations (from pre-google-translate days) in it.
Good to have on-hand in digital &/or printed out into a binder for parts references.
PM Mikey914/Mark W. for status on the sideshifter cover/boot/hoot, otherwise a nice used one may be your only option for now.
GPR, AA, Uklers/Automation (intentional sp.), & Sierra Madre may also have repro &/or used.
Cheers! 
Tom

Yep, the tooling is almost complete should have a sample through it in a little over a week. I've been devoting much of my time to the dash and it will ne done in the next few days so these will be on line soon. I'm also making the metal band like OEM foe these too.

sweet! I definitely need the boot -my band looks pretty banged up but reusable- but I'lll definitely get a new one when available
