I finally realized why my engine lid flys open bangs the targa top if I don't put one hand on the lid when I pop it open: the rubber stoppers are missing in the hinges.
I looked on 914 Rubber's site but didn't see them based on the item descriptions. Does anybody know where I can buy them? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Learned something new today ! Never knew a stopper fit in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That makes two of us. Makes me wonder what else is missing on mine that I am oblivious too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Chapman would probably have endorsed the loss of parts approach. Runs OK? Go for it. |
