Need to see what wheels you have. If you have Fucks or Mahles I belive they are a 21mm

Um, mine are 19mm (for 4 bolt fuchs)

Mine are 17mm for 4 bolt Mahles.

The 17mm ones are aftermarket replacements. The 19mm ones are stock, and very very expensive.

Those look like aftermarket Fuchs wheels, BTW. The bolt is sitting waaaaaaay too far down inside the wheel. I'm not sure I'd trust them if they looked like that!

The plug is for a fuel cut-off rev limiter. That was an option on 75-76 2.0s that had catalysts, and they seem to have used the same EFI wiring harness on some of the 75-76 2.0s without catalytic converters. No problem leaving it unplugged.

mine are 19mm and I have Mahles....

Where the 19mm stock for both the Mahles and the Fuchs?

I have never seen a Pcar with anything but 19mm, any Pcar. I have been doing tech at AX since '95 and only ever brought one socket.

Wait they were all 3/4 inch

All the stock bolts for alloy wheels used a 19mm head. (I forget the steelie bolts.) They're $10-20 each, new.

There are 17mm-head bolts that fit well and are cheaper. They may be from an Audi. I think they're more like $2-5 each.

Well my six has 19 but two of the 914s I have had were 21mm. They were both four cylenders and one had fuchs and the others were mahles. They looked exactly like the ones he pictured.
