I just came across a perfect pic on CL showing the 74 bumper guards ("tits") side-by-side which illustrates the difference between the front & rear ones.
I decided to post it here because I've seen a few folks asking if they're swap-able, which they are not - IF you want them to look right! The front ones are longer that the rear ones, & each is angled on the back side to relate to the angle of each bumper F & R - so that they sit right & are roughly level as they project out from the bumper. The fronts are longer due to the bow in the front bumper, whereas the rears can be shorter because that bumper is essentially flat L to R across a 914. The F "tits" were used on 73 & 74 MY's 914's with either painted or chrome bumpers, while the R "tits" are from the 74 MY only.  . ... so now you know a little more about "tits"!

Mark W (914 Rubber) is ready to make them. He is going to make some other stuff first though.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) His will be excellent too! IIRC he posted some prelim pix of the front ones in the Garage or member vendors section a few weeks/months back. Hey Mark - post a link in this topic - to your repro tits post whenever they're ready, so folks can find them easily from here. PS - I just sent him a PM with the link to this topic so he can post at a future date. |

They're getting a little soft. |
