this question is from a friend from Germany:
there are different relay board covers, but which one is correct for an original 914-6 my very late MY'70 914-6 has the "square" style cover: same here at a MY'71 914-6: we know from at least two early MY'70 914-6 that have the sloping version installed so, which one is correct - or, when did they change the relay board cover?

I guess if I had READ the Reply of Sixerdon more carefully, I would have learned that the rubber band for the relay cover came into use in the twilight years of the 914... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Does that coincide with a rubber band system with the battery cover... and Still, what is the best way to retro a car that didn't come with the cover. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Thanks |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Thanks To answer your questions....... The two rubber bands you are referencing would have been for MY '75/'76. The early battery cover with large rubber strap, was installed by the factory from Oct, 1970 through MY '76. (recall campaign 9J) In late July, 1977, P+A announced a recall campaign, HO, to install a new larger cover. Note that no factory cars ever came with the 2nd larger cover. The recall was issued a full year and a half after production ended. Read more here; http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/Recalls.htm For your 2nd question, pick either one........ Hope this helps. Don |
