914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Identify this part

Posted by: vsg914 Mar 13 2005, 12:38 PM

Found this in a box of parts from an old motor. I have no idea what is goes to. Is it a 914 part?

Thanks in advance, Curt

Weltmeister usually plates their stuff in gold cad. This has a natural silver-colored finish. Could be an older version, sold by Garretson Enterprises. But it looks to be the same part. Threads should be, I think, M8. Try a regular M8 bolt to see if they fit.
