I am restoring a 74 914. I have a question regarding the grommets/drain tube(s) used in the 3 drain holes located in the front trunk area. The Porsche Pet does not show (at least that I can find) the grommet/drain tube types that were originally used by the factory. If you follow current thinking by Mark at 914Rubber, there is a 911 style drain tube that fits in the lowest drain hole. When I look up the associated 911 part number for this drain tube, it is not associated with the 914, only the 911 (for the front headlight buckets). If this is true, then the drain tube provided by 914Rubber is a good solution, but not original to the 914.
So here is my question. What did the factory use as grommets/drain tubes for the 3 drain holes in the front trunk? Part numbers? I have looked at many 914 front trunk pictures and it appears that the drain hole under the spare tire hold-down and the drain hole closest to the inner bulkhead are a grommet of some type. The drain hole closest to the front cross panel looks to be closed off with a solid plug. I am looking for concourse originality. Thank you for your help! Greg Attached image(s)

The alcohol did not remove the stains. Went to the pharmacy to get the 91 percent stuff. But I did notice that I'm missing one of the drain tubey things and I ordered them from smcparts!
