My 914, built 1974
inside my brake dust cover it says 07.5.74 because some 914's are destined for Europe and some for USA in Europe it would mean 7 May 1974 in USA it would mean July 5 1974 Which one is it ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)  |

I'm pretty sure the date stamped on the dust shields is the Car Build Date not the Part Manufacture Date. My dust shield is stamped with the date that matches the build date in my trunk.
I can't imagine they manufactured my dust shields on the same day that they built my car. Regards  |

Regards my strut is 3 days before the k # stamp. so not quite the same time as the body stamp. close but not exactly the same. also to consider. true manufacture time for the car would have been over more than 1 day. i think the k# is the day the body shell commences or is completed. |

You make a good point. I've always wondered when they stamped the build date into the trunk. It would be before paint is applied I suppose. So maybe as you state above it could be on the day the build commences. |
