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 !!!???!!!

for the 8+9 wheel combo, I think they are referring to the fact that you shouldn't run these unless you have the gt-chassis stiffening kit
the swaybar recommendation for the 7+8's is beyond me sure it's a good thing to have, but a 'must have' ? Maybe it's a TüV thing? The /8 had rolled fenders, but I doubt they'd fit 8 or 9" wheels The serial#'s confuse me somewhat... only 11 916's were made their vin's are 9141430195 (=proto type) and 9142339911 - 9142339920 The GT's (same wide body config.) had no special or consecutive vin's either... cheers, Jeroen |
