 Do CW's use metric washers?, How far does their "weenie-ness" go? |

So, anyone want to represent the CW contingent?
This was just a random Q that popped into my head while I was @ the hardware store getting a couple M6 bolts... -pt |

CW at your service!
I don't get the question. If the good Doctor and his cohorts designed the parts specifically for the car, why would YOU question THEM? Because "other" parts are available in the same size from Sears, et al? Are they the same grade & quality? And, since you asked the CW question, would you show your 914 with those parts? Don't think a judge would pick them apart? In the case of some parts, maybe not. But, why? Many are available from less expensive vendors than Porsche - and are the same part. Many of these parts crossed manufacturer lines, as you well know. So, buy from VW to save a few bucks (few!). It's a matter of taste and importance. Do you want your 914 to be a CW car, or viewed with awe by CW's? Still don't get it - why bring up the CW thing, unless you're a closet CW? C'mon, let it out - we won't tell! |

Then provide me some insight on how you tell which side of the washer is the exposed front side? <grin> |
