just went to jeff's 914 collection:
http://members.rennlist.com/914_collectibles/ and went to the "914 Rare German Documents" section where he has a paper about tire/rim-sizes for the different 914 versions. on top of the lists, it says: 914/6 (1970 - 72) 916 914/8 (1972) which indicates that there were factory /8 in 1972 !!!???!!!

QUOTE(Jeroen @ Mar 3 2003, 04:44 PM) I think it saiz "916, 914/6 (1972)" That 6 just looks like an 8 a lot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) i thought so too, first ... but when you look at the lower part, it doesn't have the same roundness as a 6 but much more like a 8 ... plus, why list 72 /6 seperately when it is already covered in the first column? remember, first column already says "914/6 (1970 - 72)" 914/6, 916 and 914/8 would make sense, IF there was a /8 in 72 ... Andy btw. the paper also says that they didn't allow 9" wheels in the back with the steel GT flares. they considered it "unsafe" unless you would add additional "stabilisers" ??? |
