Correct "914" "2.0" Emblem Placement Options

[detoxcowboy]

I just ditched my "euro" badge for the "914 2.0" and can't find the "famous thread" on where to place the emblem, w/ "Sahara" Steve's 914 precise example or something like that.. Thank You..

what about the placement of the "stickers" on the 76 model? is that the same as the metal & plastic location w/o the holes?

Look at the pix in the Brian Long 914 & 914-6 book - latest edition, as it has pretty good rear end shots of a 75 or 76 & IIRC it's about the same as the earlier plastic & metal ones.

If you can scan or photo that pic in the book (or similar), then print it enlarged to full 1:1 scale for that area showing the L edge of the R Taillight & the script, then you can use that as a template to transfer key points to place the decal script (you could use them for a pic of the metal/plastic formed script too assuming same placement). A non-staining grease pencil to mark the 4 corners of each script (through small holes punched in your template) will give you points along which you can place some thin blue low stick tape for the lines on 4 sides & space between 914 & 2.0, then place the decals as laid out!

Also, make sure the surface is cleaned first for best adhesion & burnish the edges after you've squeezed out any bubbles.

BTW - both 75 & 76 MY used the decals, 73 & 74 used the metal script at first but changed to plastic by later 73 or 74 MY.
