914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Rare but worthless 914 parts
Posted by: JeffBowlsby Aug 2 2026, 09:55 PM
Am proud owner of a very rare but worthless, VW-Bosch part #022906209, in black nylon no less! I actually have a couple of these. Yee-ha! A similar part was made by Amp in white nylon, and the ubiquitous common part with the strap handle is #022906209A.
Or better, who has collections like 500+ nos headlight motors or front wheel bearing covers, proof that you’ve got the sickness, and it’s bad.
Post what rare, worthless 914 parts you have to amuse us? No damaged, broken parts please…

I dont know where to start.
But i will with this one. NOS upper brake handle for folding early hand brake handle.
But i have a buyer who has a lower part.
Why would Porsche offer the parts separately without the rivet?
Jeff,
I think we need to start a self help group for those who suffer (?) from Porsche parts buying addiction.
PPBA.
Glenn Stazek can be the group leader.
But the goal is not to be free if the habit but how to find more parts and where to store them.

NOS rear damper jounce bumper with the step washer molded into the jounce bumper. One piece only and due to age probably wouldn’t last long if used assuming I could even find another to have a pair.
Purchased so that I can measure its rate to compare later on to the jounce bumpers that are actually available in the aftermarket.

Both of the parts you need are on Ebay. AA has the bottom of ebrake handle and 914LTDs has rear damper.

This jounce bumper did come from Brad.

This Electromotive is truly worthless because it has failed. I am hoping someone on here has one of these in their parts pile - one that works, of course.

Wasn't there a strange rectangular worthless piece of plastic that sat on top of the battery?
Can't remember 100% if it was 914s that came with them nor what it was for. Don't have a NOS one, but somewhere in the inventory there should be a used one.
In the virtually worthless category is the so called windshield washer bottle on the earlier pneumatic versions. It should be called the spare tire deflation mechanism.

If you ever noticed on the access cover at the rear of center tunnel just below the center panel there is a hole .... why? it should have a small clip to retain wiring.
(pic to follow)
Ive only ever encountered one that was still present in the hundreds of 914s Ive touched
Rare. IDK, Useless ....for sure.

There was! And I have one on my restored concours-winning LE because it was original to my car, but mine was in a box of spare parts that came with the car. It was useless, kind of a rectangle of black rubbery waffle-grained ABS plastic with square cutouts at two corners where the battery terminals were. These were probably discarded with car's first battery change. A factory recall in 1977 replaced this with a large, flat, smooth plastic cover over the whole top of the battery.

Yes, my original 73 came with a black plastic battery cover, it didn't fit later battery tops so I stashed it away somewhere. Useless device!

It's supposed to save your car and "hell hole" from being ruined by battery acid:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/332587550904?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338767525&toolid=20006&loc=87913&customid=4581939849542915_710314500_s.e4059ce8eab510954a96f693016e3953&msclkid=e4059ce8eab510954a96f693016e3953
"Porsche 914 factory battery cover brand new from famous HO campaign.
As we all know 914s all suffer from battery area damage as the battery gets hot the voltage regulator disfunctions and over charges the battery boils and the rain comes through the grille and washes the battery acid down onto and into the frame! The best and easiest way to prevent this is to install one of the large factory HO campaign factory battery covers along with one of our great battery mats. This buy it now is for one of these factory covers which will certainly keep rain off of the battery and save your car. Great buy it now on this piece and the concours judges will approve of it!"

NOS but frankly not even sure where the heck it goes.

Terry,
That piece looks to be back panel support in late 75-76 rear trunk panel. You need 2 lol.

I accumulated a ton of stuff over 45 years and had quite a job when we moved from our acreage to a lot smaller place in AZ 9 years ago. Offered a lot of stuff free to Brad M from Peoria but he didn't want it.
Saved some of the smaller stuff but it was hard to throw a lot in the dumpster but I eventually did it... and it wasn't easy!!

Anyone need this free for postage….Thanks
