914World.com _ 914World Garage _ GB engine tin delete plugs Closes 12/31/19
Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 9 2019, 02:37 AM
These are the delete plugs used on the 914/6 to eliminate the rain tubes as there is no rain tray on it.
They are also used on the early cars including 73 from what I can see on PET
Stopper -73 1 914-4/1,7
for 914-2,0
Oil hose
And
Water drain sleeve
13 Stopper -73 2 914-6
for
Oil hose
And
Water drain sleeve
These are located in the Hell hole area and under the relay board.
I'll post pictures up Monday afternoon, but if you have holes there these are what should be plugging them They are not on the low point, but on the part sloping down.
Made from Nylon to the correct dimension like factory not a cheap plug that kind of fits
At $6 a pair who's in?

in for four
Posted by: BeatNavy Dec 9 2019, 07:01 AM
Do you have a pic of what they are supposed to look like? I found something like what you're describing all covered in undercoating, so I thought maybe it was some sketchy repair the DAPO did or something. Glad to hear it may be legit.
What the hey, I'm in for at least a pair.

I'll post up shortly, but yes most of there are missing or covered over with crap if they are still there.
Just another part you didn't know you even needed

The originals I have are an opaque dome shaped cap plug. Can post a picture when I find them.

Yes, cool, that's helpful. Those are definitely on my tin (covered up with a bunch of old undercoating, paint, and other crap). I'm glad those are stock and not evidence of some poorly done repair.
This GB comes at a good time. Yes, another part I didn't know I needed

I've never seen a 4cyl car with the hole for the oil hose under the relay board.

This would be a /6 only part and /6 conversion guys need them as well, you have to cut the hole for the /6 tank return line. The grommet I have is cobbled together and now ripped.

4 for me pls

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 10 2019, 11:24 PM
I have on my 72 car. Both sides.
I haven’t been able to drive up to Taylor’s house as he’s storing it for me.
Definitely used for the oil lines on the sixes at the drivers side.
I suspect that with the PET description it occurs on the 73 also.
Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 11 2019, 04:26 PM
Confirmation On Taylors' 73 there are the holes for these. Had him take a shot for me this morning,
I know they are often missing or covered over with crap.

Thanks, Mark.

GB PMs sent to all so for, parts are done and ready to ship. These are set up as individuals and it defaults to a set of 2
I'll keep open the GB til the endo of the year. There is a GB for trailing arm bushings that I will be ready to start PM'ing on Monday, so if you want to combine you can hold tight and we can ship in one order.
Thanks to all

I just ordered mine.
Posted by: Literati914 Dec 21 2019, 05:30 PM
I received my set and just tried them .. and while I appreciate the efforts - unfortunately they sit too loose for my '72. Just looking at them in place, it looks like they are perfect, but lift with no resistance from underneath. Looks like I may have to bust out the glue sticks 
.

.That sounds disappointing. At least they did not cost much.

.I fitted these on my 72 and on Matts' 914/6 Shoot me some picc of what you have going on, as The model for these was my 72.
Posted by: gandalf_025 Dec 26 2019, 11:21 AM
I'll take a set and if possible ship them with the bushings in the other group buy..
Posted by: PCH Dec 26 2019, 12:11 PM
Would these fit the two holes in the rear trunk?

Pulled my drain line hoses and rubber bushings yesterday.
Mine is a '75 and I have the plugs now in, but they basically sit in place with out any true resistance from below.
I don't know if while driving they will pop out. I actually wrapped some plumbers tape around the plug to get some resistance.
Inner lip needs to be a hair larger in diameter IMO. Might have been mocked up for sizing on a vehicle with a heavy prime or repaint in the engine bay.
Nice and clean though.
Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 27 2019, 04:57 PM
I was very surprised to hear people were having issues with these. I came to the bottom of the problem you can see in the videos
We took great care to replicate the correct plug for the 6. It did seem the 75 did have a slightly tighter fit

move to vendor forum?
Posted by: Rand Dec 27 2019, 06:13 PM
I have stuff to sell but don't put it in the garage. Because it's not allowed.
Posted by: gandalf_025 Dec 27 2019, 06:22 PM
I’m the one that bumped
This to the top again.. It is a group buy.
I have no problem with this being in
the garage as such.. I never go to the Vendor
Section and am glad to hear about these buys
which Benefit many.
I don't understand why People make negative comments
about group buys...???
Posted by: Rand Dec 27 2019, 06:25 PM
about group buys...???
Because people get away with breaking the rules when others can't. The rules are in place to prevent this from becoming a commercial forum. That's why there's a vendor forum here.

Actually,
My response was to the fitment of the parts and I included video so that others could see how these do fit.
Posted by: second wind Dec 27 2019, 11:04 PM

I am glad this is in the discussion section . wouldn't have looked for this or known about it if in the vendor section.
Posted by: gandalf_025 Jan 16 2020, 08:19 AM
These arrived the other day with the A-Arm bushings.
I just walked out into the garage and popped them in..
They fit perfect.. They snap in with a little pressure.
Thanks again for making parts like these..
My originals were pretty nasty looking..

Sorry the GB is closed they are available, just a little more.

We will be running a sale on them in the next news letter. won't be as good as the GB but still will save a bit. Will be out about the 20th.

Posted by: sbsix Feb 11 2020, 05:51 PM
Mark,
Can you consider making the oval fuel line plug, Porsche part #914.559.245.10, pictured below? It's a companion plug on the 914-6 engine shelf to the shelf plug(s) you just came out with.
I would be willing to offer my original as a template.
Gary

Gotta make it pencil out. I’ll start a thread GB let’s see if we can get enough folks to make it reasonable for us.

Thanks Mark. It would be nice to have matching shelf plugs.
