Anyone know where I can find the gasket that goes between the throttle body and the plenumn? Pelican or GPR don't carry it. Is it still available or will I have to make one?
Thanks |

This is a pretty confusing thread. The 1.7 rubber gasket is smaller and exclusive to 914s and T4s. 1.7 T2s were ALL carbureted, with an interesting pair of single throat solexes with a common idle circuit. There were some 1.8 FI busses and T4s, and a long series of 2.0 FI busses. 1.8 914s had a larger gasket then the 1.7s, and the 2.0 914 (only)had a paper gasket (not rubber like the others). THAT gasket is easily made and probably still available. The 1.7 gaskets are around, used, and should be useable if they're not torn, due to the conical design. The 1.7 intake boots are NLA, but I still see them around in useable condition. The same boot for 1.8s is NLA, and they're really difficult to find. Busses don't use the same boot. FWIW, 912E intake boots are rarer than unobtainum., and nothing else is the same. The Cap'n
