So today my clips broke while driving and my 1000 mile new trim came flying up. What is the story with these clips. I wish they were made of steel. My 1st 914 had steel ones and they were great. Is one source better than another? They are waaay to brittle.

When I was in NC I visited Black Forest Racing and had a long visit with the founder. Can’t remember his name for the life of me. Anyways I asked him about the clips. He said that his trick was to use a drop of glue on each clip. Then if the snap failed there was still glue. I tried it and I my trim still doesn’t stay tight to the car. Hate to pull it all apart again but it’s on my winter list.

I am doing the transmission this fall so it will push back 914 work unfortunately. |
