My ‘72 has two small holes, at the front part of the passenger’s side floor… they look factory and are approx 3/8” or so & spaced approx 8-9” apart.
I can not figure out what these are for and was hoping someone could shed light on it, before I weld them shut - and end up wishing I hadn’t. . |

Checked my 70' 914-6 and it has these two holes also. Never really noticed them before.
The early foot rest/dog bone was kept from moving too far by a strap that had a clip that snapped into a D-ring that was attached via the speaker cover bottom screw. I wonder if it's for the Webasto heater exhaust pipe....I had an early 911 with the gas heater and it had a small muffler and exhaust pipe that was bolted to the bottom of the floor board on the passenger side.... From a few pictures it looks like the 914 webasto heater was placed on the driver side in the front trunk but maybe the exhaust went to the passenger side...does anyone have the 914 webasto heater installed.  |
