Hi,
I am restoring my 73 914 and have a few (more) questions. Can I leave off the bellows and flappers or will I need them? I will have the engine built to 2.2 and will be using webers. Can I do away with the expansion chamber on top of the fuel tank? I would like to mount a wider tire (205 50 15). What wheel offset do I need to mount these tires under stock fenders? Cheers, Elliot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon14.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon14.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon14.gif) |

You MUST leave the flapper in place for the oil cooler. I take and place the oil cooler flap under the two sides of the oil cooler tin... so it cant raise up. I would have to shoot a pic to explain it better. Anyway.. the flap for the oil cooler must be secured down over the cooler.
You can remove the other flap...with the rod on it and the bellows. You live in SoCal.. so warmup wont be a big issue for you like it would be for sombody in the northeast. You must run a stock 914 wheel (Mahle/Fuchs/Pedrini) or som variation of aftermarket for the 914 to get a 205/50/15 under the stock fenders. Basically a 15x5.5 wheel or a 15x6 or 15x7... B |
