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?

Wolfgang,
The cover on the right at the top and the ones in the cars would be the correct cover for your car with the knurled nut on the threaded stud to secure it. The sloped cover was introduced for the retractable seat belt install in late '72, I believe. Now you mentioned that you have seen early /6's with the sloped cover? From my experience on both my Jan & Mar '70 cars, they never came with a cover. They didn't even have a threaded stud. I have since installed them for obvious protection. I have seen others in pictures from magazines and owners manual from the era that show just a bare circuit board. I don't know when they were first installed in either the /4 or /6. If you have an owners manual there should be a picture without the cover. However, yours being a late MY '70 sold in '71, could have had the "early" cover installed by that time. BTW, there was a 3rd cover designed for the '75 & '76 models without stud and nut and held in place by a rubber strap. Where's Paul?.........do you have a cover on your circuit board? Don |

Wolfgang, Imagine Glenn's picture above without the raised boss and hole. It would be just a flat top that was held in place with a rubber strap. No threaded rod. That would be the 3rd and final version of this cover. If, in 1980, you were to go to the dealer and requested to purchase a cover for your 1970 914/6, you most likely would have received the 3rd version with the sloped front, no hole and a rubber strap. Simply put, it was adaptable to all years and therefore superseded the previous versions. Hope this answers your question. Don |
