Hi Pat & other CN's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
This accesssory thingie has me interested in Mud Guards part #914.559.309.10 and Head Light Spray washers part #????? (can't find #) for installation on my 914. Can anyone tell me if it's factory original when 914's were new??? I am checking my parts book for more information on anything adding to my bling, bling obsession. Of course it must be Porsche factory approved. Got to have more "Bling" "Bling" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) for PCA shows.

I belive the headlight washers are now required on any car in Sweeden & may have been as well back in the 70s'. I never saw them on a teener but that does not mean they were not available & it's very likely that you might find them on Sweedish teeners.
I do remember the mud guards & how ugly they were. Used to be able to find them all over local German junkyards. I'll bet there's still a bunch burried in the mud all over PG County MD. |

this is just out of my brain
AFAIK the headlight washers were available on the '75 & '76 model only IIRC there is a photo in one of the big (premium) sales brochures I will look for it later ... but I can't remember seeing the mud flaps on any Porsche original photo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |

I'll bet there's still a bunch burried in the mud all over PG County MD. The 914 Preservation Division winner at the 2006 Parade had a set of the factory mud flaps as I recall. I thought they looked pretty good. I have a set of the flaps and hardware for the late style rear valance, and a set of the hardware for the early style rear valance. Just need the flaps to match the early style valance and I'll have no problem in deciding to mount them. (And no G.H., the later sytle flaps will not work properly with the early hardware.) Care to make a few German junkyard dives for me? <grin> |

I need to double check, but I think my Haynes shows the washers on a earlier bumpered car, and the squirter seems to extend towards the headlight before it shoots the spray? (I just saw the pic last night, in the electrical section...)
Never seen them either way so just adding to the confusion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Ferg |

Dave Pateman (DaveP) has previously said that he has most of a headlight squirter system...Calling Dave...
I think you are thinking of the headlight squirter alignment tool Mike? You are right though...on an early bumper car... Attached image(s)

Tom I don't eat breakfast. I have seen the squirters on late bumper 914's. I have also seen the mud guards on a couple of early cars. They are exceptionally.....UGLY! What? Didn't Porsche offer a "factory based" CB radio & a cool whip antenna too? May want to put that on your list. Once upon a time, they offered complete body/chassis spares. Bet there's one or two in hiding somewhere in Europe. Find one of these & go for the ultimate bling - chrome dip the entire structure! Bling beyond anything else, and easy to keep polished. Although, you'd need to have the rear fog housing plated to. Yeah, that's it. I have some really nice chrome wheels to complete the look. Pat |

Feel free to post about mud guards and headlight washers and rear fog lights. Since I'm never going to be in the market for these items, I'll never be your competition!

Yes I do have most of the washer system. I think the biggest issue is strapping in the tank and mounting the pump. I accidentally came across the rubber bumper top a very long time ago, so I purchased what parts I could find. I'll try to take some photos.
A friend near Buffalo has them installed on his car. |

Still trying to find it in the parts manual, and "suspect" it have have been aftermarket. Probably made by someone like Amco, but who knows? It's the perfect piece to crown the Chromium 914. This is an actual pic of a 914 I found in 1976 - 2 years old! Pat ps: I snuck this post in - don't tell! Attached image(s)

Anybody have a pic?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Funny ... the car we recently acquired for my wife has an antenna mount to the left of the engine bay grille. The CB craze was happening back then you know, and just about everybody had one. It's not too visible ... a black rubber cap helps hide it: (IMG:http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q101/euro911/Howie/341.jpg) (IMG:http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q101/euro911/Howie/338.jpg) I actually found a Blaupunkt CB radio on eBay several years ago while searching for a stock AM/FM/SW radio for a '66 912. It was brand new in the box, everything still sealed in original plastic bags). A couple of years ago, I found another one in pretty good condition. Blaupunkt CB radios are pretty rare though ... I can snap a pic if anyone wants to see what they look like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

I met Mark, the original owner of a 70 914-6 here in Boulder a few years back... Lost touch and ran into him again at my coffee and cars meet this month.
His radio antena is mounted on the passenger side cowl! Just inboard of the fender cowl seal. Was that way the day he picked it up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I'll get a pic next time we have coffee. Ferg |
