Does anyone here know if the VW cigarette lighter cap linked below fits the 914 switch handle? I.e., is it the same one as was used in the 914? I bought one direct from Porsche and it's very nice but it is not correct for the 914 (has an image of a smoking cigarette on it and the original had the zippo lighter on it).

Just received the cigarette lighter switch cap. It does fit and it's similar to the original but not identical. The quality of the paint application is undoubtedly not up to snuff with what the original would have been and the repro is far more engraved than the original. Having said that, the look is right and much more correct than what Porsche sold me (though I like the look of that one the most).
