The factory manual and PET show an overflow tube from the brake reservoir. None of my 914s had them so I've never seen one. Did they really exist? If so, how were they attached? I see the vent on my reservoir but no place to attach a tube. I can't see anyplace that looks like something broke off either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Thanks guys. Good to know and at least not an item I need to worry about for my car. Nest question, is the hole and clip above and below the brake switch wire grommet in the pic below for the overflow tube that I don't have? Can't think what else those would be for. If so, I think I'll find a rubber plug for that hole.
Thanks again.  |

PS beautiful work. Let us see the rest of the car. OOPS !...just found your 47 page thread. Beautiful. |
