A question for the experts here(or anyone who knows the answer).. how do these pieces attach to the steering column/ clamshell? Do they just slide in ? I can’t seem to make them stay. 70 914/6.

Credit to Chris (tygaboy) for finding this. I'm curious to hear about quality. The price is ... $51 each piece or for both ? The tins ? I used sections of four cylinder dash tins modified and patched (welded ? ...can't remember) to suit. Attached thumbnail(s)

It will work but it is physically different. 914 613 311 00 is the correct column cover/switch housing and 914 552 241 10 are the pieces that you have in your photo Autoatlanta had someone that was molding reproductions but they no longer are. We have been working to try and facilitate production as we have a factory -6 in need but as of right now there is no ETA (and there may never be) That said if you are happy with the 911 bits we will take those pieces off your hands as we have a build needing them. |
