Good afternoon everyone,
I question if I may. I have just been watching Ian Karr's new video on Youtube on his 914/6 project and it reminded me to ask you good people a question. Just above the door lock in the door jamb there is a hole/tube, what is that for? It appears to go up into the sail but not into the engine bay. I have just had a look at my car, shined a torch into the entry hole but there is no light to be seen. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon. - Tony |

Mine is a Euro car (originally delivered in France), no plastic covers - but who knows if that is original or not.

If you like them, use them. If not, no harm, no foul. |
