914World.com _ Originality and History _ 914/914-6 rear bumper question
Posted by: sixaddict Feb 16 2018, 07:13 AM
Need information on correct configuration:
Seems that I recently read something that contradicts what I had as "correct" up to that point in time.
1970 914-6 rear bumper is recognized as unique based on squared off inset. I believe the 1970 -4 is also that configuration. Is that correct ?
Also, ( and this is the part that surprised me ) ---the 71 914-6 has the "smile" look on the rear inset versus the squared off configuration.
Is that correct or misinformation.
I know a few of you ( Glenn, Bruce , Mark ) will know that answer which is what I am seeking versus a guess.
Thanks
TOT

The original rear bumper on my 1970/4. I have understood that the rear bumper design changed sometime during the 1971 calendar year.

You are correct. I have never seen a definitive answer as to when the change over occurred. I have heard of the square bottoms on 1971 (4 & 6) but this is such an easy part to change that it is really hard to say.
