Drain Tubes. Two of them mount in the two holes in the front trunk. There is a vintage photo of a late 1975 914 with the headlight washer jets that shows it and it was on both of my LE cars. I know I have seen them on local concours cars too. PN 91102561200 Still available from most parts houses and not expensive.
Not listed in any 914 parts book, but known installed on original 914s. Bruce Napier helped find this part after some serious head scratching. I cannot recall where I found the PN. Its actually a common part for 911s and 356s. Included is how PP and Stoddards lists it. Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)

I believe the design of them is that at rest, they would let any water that gets in the front trunk past the crappy factory hood seal out the holes and when the car is in motion the tube flattens sealing the hole against any water getting in.
There are two numbers on the part. A 2 & 7. They are so small you need a magnifiying glass to see them. Jeff had asked me to take a look at makeing replacements and before I started I did a search thru PET and my hard copys of the factory manuals and could find no reference to them. Just to make sure that the one I had from Jeff wasn't the last good one in the world before I started to take it apart I did a internet search and found the 91102561200 part number. Jeff confirmed last week that it was the right part number.............there's more to this story...flights to far off places, lost luggage, romance, intrigue ect. But it's enough to say that they are available now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
