I'm new to 914's, previously I've just fooled with 911's.

I now have a '70 914-6 with the fuel tank out and need to replace the rubber grommets for the fuel lines. These are where the 2 fuel lines (different O.D.'s) enter the tunnel under the tank, both going through their own OVAL holes (one line per hole).

Any ideas? The closest I found are the PN 111957861 oval grommets for the brake reservoir lines and fuel in the 914-4 engine bay. The PET shows both a NLA single large oval grommet in some cars set up for 2 lines, or a un-pictured NLA grommet PN 99970209550 for single lines.

Your 914-6 setup is different than my 73 2.0 pictured below. I reused my single big grommet when installing SS lines; it was in good condition. You might contact Chris at Tangerine Racing. He may be able to help you.

Yep, I have the rear ones. If you can't find what you need. I can probably make it. Just let me know.

The round ones won't work, they are larger and oval. The engine shelf ones may work. Right now I have the stock lines, so angled 8mm and 10mm should work.

That 914-4 grommet is larger than my single line grommets. The dual line one is NLA any ways.

Those do look an awful lot like the engine shelf grommets.

Well I have these, which I think you may be referring to. They are the larger ID

The fuel shelf ones look more oval, and those charcoal canister grommets have holes too big. I'll order the fuel shelf ones and give them a try.

Thanks.

They are elliptical, the angle of the photo is distorting the perspective. Yes my photography sucks.
