I not only like the look of this mod but adds simplicity to gas fill ups the only negative from my perspective is now gas entry is not protected?
so any one have measurements and close up pics? I am assuming that it is more than just a hole. also probably a ring is welded on hood so as to give a relief even added seal? I think Patrick motorsports has pics in their gallery? |

That would be me... The PO had it installed. Unfortunately I don't know what the unit came off of. It is well finished from the top, but a bit rough with on the back side. I do get a lot of comments about it, surprisingly I've had many 914 guys (past and present owners) voice dislike as it breaks up a smooth hood. But it is nice nice filling up up w/o leaning under the hood. Dayton, I grew up there. |

I figure Each their own. I have one of the little pop up units you see on motorcycles I am thinking about dropping on the cowl on the right side. I also have a door from a Chevy Van that I got to doo the hood model. And I have one of the bolt in units And I have had GT fillers, I can do it all, and yet have done no of it. |
