i'm new to all this 914 parts stuff, and i'm stumped with this one. what the heck is this part? what is its function? i found it under the passenger seat rail. it appears to be a plug or fastener of some kind, and has the word 'tenax' and a 'ghe' logo stamped on it. it's about the diameter of a nickel i guess.

Something someone dropped...was there any spare change there too?

Dosen't look like any 914 part I've taken off any of my cars.

It's the left innucleonic monotonator.

Mine runs fine without it.

it didn't really look like a part from a 914 to me either, but i had to ask, being new to this as i am. no spare change unfortunately.

that was my thought at first...

More specifically it the adjustment doo-hickey (technical term) labeled as part 2 below.

Aaron hang onto that I will get it back from you next time I see you. It is a Tenax fastener. It holds tonneau covers or cabriolet tops onto the body.

As soon as I hit the "add reply" button, I thought to myself that you'd be the first one to reply.

Sick puppy you are.

No, no, no.

That is the calibration knob from an oscillation overthruster!

Isn't that the knob that manually adjusts the Turbo boost?

'Cause everyone knows that you can't turbo a 914 without that knob.

Yeah I'm a newbie but I can catch on fast sometimes.

if it doesn't have any rust on it... it's probably
not from a 914

It is the same snap that holds down the Tonneau cover on my cabriolet....looks like it's been whoring around.....

BTW Those things ain't cheap....

So he's got one of those "limited edition" targa tops that snap on instead of latch on. Cool!
