I have a 1974 2.0 and there aren't any holes for a metal 914 emblem below the rear trunk. I understand the 1974 models had plastic stick on emblems? Does anyone have measurements from the trunk latch where to drill and install a metal 914 emblem?
Thank you. |

Nope, the 74s had molded plastic emblems with pins which AFAIK are still available today from Porsche etc. (some early 74s were metal) - not stick on.
The decals came with the 75-76 only. You should have 2 sets of 2 holes on your back wall of the rear trunk, 2 for "914" & 2 for "2.0" (or 1.8). If yours only has the 2 holes where the 914 emblem goes - & no evidence of a pair for 2.0 welded up - then maybe somebody used an early 70-72 back wall (& some early 73s like mine). Just drill the missing holes. Hopefully someone else can post pix of the 4 holes' locations, cuz I don't ha access to my pix now. Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

Don't drill the holes, clip off the pins and cut down some 3M tape to fit.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) maybe I lean this way cause of the money I spent filling the holes, and no I didn't put emblems back on. If I had to do it again, I would have filled in the trunk button hole to. |

When I restored my '73 I filled in the holes and put a 914 decal (sticker) on. If you want the actual plastic 914 I too would cut off the pins and stick it on. Why drill holes in a perfectly clean body???

I think the 76 was the only model to have stickers. My 75 has plastic emblems with pins. When I had a new 3.2 badge made, I just used 2-sided tape, its been on there for 6 years with no problems.

I just had a local graphics shop make the sticker- I gave them dimensions and a picture. My front crest is also a sticker, just like the GT3 RS!! Gotta save weight you know... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Contact Mueller for a gorgeous emblem like mine with or without the -6. It is stuck on with 3M double stick tape and it is Stuck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |

They aren't all at the same height. You need a measurement for each hole. Good catch. I guess I wasn't fully awake yet. I edited the original pic with all height dimensions. Thanks for catching that. |

My kid thought it would be funny to put mine upside down once. If it wasnt for the 2.0 being on a slant i wouldnt have notice for weeks

I clipped the pins to install a Euro "914-VW-Porsche" badge, and now wish I'd had the template (ideally) to drill the holes in my hole-less rear. The tape works and hold it on, but the emblem would be prettier flush against the paint.
