After reading a number of posts on the main forum & seeing that this part & that part are NLA, I was thinking (dangerous!) - let's put together a list of those parts that are NLA & get ideas on how to deal with it. Ex: apparently the gas pedal is now NLA. What's to be done when you need a replacement?
Many of these parts are important to both concours & regular 914 people. So how do we deal with thier non-availability? I'll nail this thread if the feedback is worth it. I think we can all benefit from it. Guess I've lost touch since I haven't had to buy many parts for some years (stocked up in the 80's). But, some of the basics are NLA these days & how do we deal with it? |

I thought about doing this a few times. Then reality sets in. I actually enjoy making these kinds of lists, but this one would be never ending I think. I would start it as a worksheet with PN, Part name, Availabel aftrmarket or other solution. If every NLA grommet, trim part and body panel were included, the list would go on forever. Then again is it that important to be comprehensive of every NLA part? Some are obvious, like fenders, Targa tops, rear window glass...no one would really benefit from this info. What may be good info to document is things like where to find good substitutes for those pesky NLA black plastic rivets, or weatherstripping.
