You ought to be able to get the aluminum channel from a swap meet, or post a wanted ad for a pair (right and left are different, get one of each) The channle screws onto the roll bar with some sealant under it, then the rubber slips in (with a small screw to prevent it from moving out)

If only the fire wall is bad, and floors are good, then when the engine is out, remove the rust, see if some one is parting a wrecked 914 and try to get the firewall to use as a patch panel, or make your own. A fiberglass patch could also be done. Just do your best to arrest further rust, and seal the holes so it don't get wet inside when you wash the car. A new engine shelf for the passengerside is made by Restoration Design (they might even make a firewall) It is easy to install with motor out, and a MIG welder This will allow better engine bay sealing from hot air.

A good area to inspect is behind the outer rocker covers, especially near the jack point.

good luck!
