My /4 cable runs directly to my Weber carbs. No linkage on the transmission. Cheaper cable and no parts to buy!

Yup! I bought all the bellcrank paraphenelia, being my first -6 conversion. When I installed it I was amazed at how rinky-dink the set up was. When they designed the 914 they obviously turned the 911 set up around, instead of just running the cable thru the sheet metal and connecting directly to the carbs. Must have put some of Ferry's summer intern nephews on to the task. And the later -4 914's don't have the transmission boss drilled out to accept the bellcrank shaft. Anyway, I made a similar bracket and encourage anybody to try it. A -4 cable is less expensive and can be made to work as above, it just doesn't have a threaded end. If I had an original I'd probably stick with the stock set up but... Nice photo. Here's mine. Not quite as purdy as yours but it works. Somebody could build a few of these and sell them to the rest of us for $30 but its easy to do. Go for it, guys!  |
