I'm looking for the plastic "whiskers" that seal or clean the actuating arm on the headlamps. In the attached picture, I have removed the headlamp.
I looked in the PET and could not find them in the exploded view for the headlamp assembly (page 298). What are these called and where can I buy them? Thanks! |

What years had the fuzzies? I have had many 914s and I don't recall ever seeing them.
I just replaced all the bushings on the project car with All Thread and some plumbing parts. Did not take long. Having the part that presses on the bushing would save some time in the plumbing isle at the hardware store. |

QUOTE 70 & 71 had fuzzy’s. I’m not sure about 72. My '72 has them. I tried to "refresh" them and painted the metal. They still work, but they don't look as new as the rest of the car. |
