Hello all, I have been grappling with what must be one of the "worst" jobs on the 914 (till the next one) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) namely refitting the springs for the rear trunk or boot as we UK owners call it.... The mecahnism had to be removed as part of my hell hole welding repairs recently. After several hours of fighting the incredible pressure these springs are under (and many thanks to the excellent step by step guide on this forum for refitting the springs) I finally manged to get the 2nd spring under its hinge "perch" last night slipped the roller on and was congratulating myself when I discovered in my enthusiasm tightening up everything when the spring was in place I have sheared the bolt holding the hinge "pivot". So I shall have to drill out the old bolt and maybe have to tap a new thread depending on how lucky I am. My request here is does anyone know the part number for the bolt I have sheared? I need to order a new one and am hoping the official Porsche spares network will come to my rescue as in the past they have been excellent with these sort of pieces. If not it'll be Mittelmotor or Pelican I guess. I have tried to attach some pictures hope they work ok. This job was meant to be an easy one after realising I needed a break from the front struts which are still work in progress....
