I'm looking to buy a rear trunk floor pan from Restoration Design (Part # P335). Will this floor pan fit the later model 914s? I have a 1975, and the exsisting floor pan has the humps for the bumper mounts but the one on RD's website doesn't. Does it matter?
RD said it would fit, but before I commit to buying, I thought I'd check around to be sure. Anyone know? RD's rear trunk floor pan:  |

I thought the later rear trunk sections had humps L&R. What would it take to install early bumpers? Might be the only option to the trunk floor availability. |

Talk to George at AA before you buy from R/D.
Just my $0.02. |

You'll have to trim both sides to make it fit (blue lines), but I consider all repro metal to be trim to fit anyway. I usually cut along the green line and throw the upper section away. That's a structural part of the car, and I don't like to mess with it for no good reason.  (IMG:http://www.paintandmetal.com/invoice/images/large_images/33_044366300%201156824410.jpg) |

I agree about the structural part of the trunk. No need to replace that area. |
