Can anyone tell me what these are for? I completely stripped my 71 914-4 to restore and in process of reassembly. Can't figure out what these are for. I had them in my Oil-bath Air Filter to store which could be somewhere in its vicinity, or I was just dumb and put them there.
I haven't installed the engine deck lid rain tubes yet and though maybe they are for attaching them to the engine bay. Pic of my progress on the car included. Attached thumbnail(s)

Yes that would make perfect sense and since I couldn't find them when installing just used a hex bolt that threaded into....nothing.
The good news is that I haven't installed the fuel tank because I had a break on one of the Bowden cables and working to resolve. Thanks for the help. |

Thanks for the help. @RestoReese If you want to improve the air box mounting install another set of nuts. You can epoxy them in place. There are holes in the flange under the cowl. The air boxes tend to crack because they are only supported in two places. Bruce |

Great idea. I thought it was odd they had the holes offset from one side to the other, but based on me tearing the car down to bare metal, I have been baffled (and impressed) at time by the engineering.
If anyone knows what size the flat head screw is for the rear rotors I am open to suggestions. One of mine bent so trying to find a replacement. |
