Grey or black $6
Will be ready next week

One of the things I’ve had on the back burner for awhile.
Note the ones listed in grey currently don’t match the length of the actual part I removed from the car. I believe they made the 911 version and super ended the part so one size fits all. So they would look out of place on our cars.

The material looks the same Mark and looks like a nice reproduction of the original Are those orange though? Can't really tell from the pics.

Yes and here is the comparison between the 40 year old part and mine. Also correct texture on the vinyl part too.

My 1970 -6 had a couple of these, but this is the most recent pic I can find. Engine and trans are out as we do a reseal and full clean up of engine compartment.

This car was restored by a seriously anal guy (not me!) and won two Parades in a row with it, so I'll make an assumption these are correct.

This shot is at the front of engine compartment, passenger side. You can see the fuel pump connector boot unplugged. I ordered new from Sierra Madre (gray), though I later found them a couple places. Mikey do you offer gray as well?

Mark,
i’d Like to purchase one of these but can’t find them on either the new or the old site. Are they available yet?

Great dialogue...but questions remain:

They have been documented here on several 1973 /4 cars so far...but were these provided on all/other years? D-Jet only or L-Jet too? All engine sizes? They are appropriate for /6s apparently but how were the three PN's used and how were they mounted in a /6?

Original factory equipment or recall?

Material - cloth, vinyl, rubber? Length/width/thickness? A pair of holes for mounting? Grommets/no grommets?

The two from Pelican above look similar to but not the right color or length. Three PNs are listed...for the /6's.

The strap is not present on my all original Feb.73/4, and was never present. The throttle cable is too low to be held as such on the D-Jet and ECU on Mistress.

My new throttle cable isn’t long enough when using the cable strap. Is there a longer cable I should be using?

May be a function of the maker of the cable not allowing for the strap. I will need to check, but as we are venturing into cable manufacturing, I will verify they fit on ours.

They are right here for those that need them - https://914rubber.com/accelerator-cable-sus...for-porsche-914

not on L-jet.
mine has never had one and its fairly original.
secondly there is no where to affix it on an L jet, the ECU bracket is not the same as the D jet ECU bracket, different design

--------.

PET indicates only on 914/6 and 914 2.0

makes sense why its there on a 2.0, due to orientation of throttle body which is upright on the intake plenum?

nice repro part by 914 rubber. another obscure detail for the fanatics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

we used to make fun of the 356 guys talking about things like this.

Well, we arrived.

BTW, with having owned probably 15 or more of these..and seen many at shows....I have never ever seen this strap in place.
I have no doubt it should be there....just never knew.

to give the cable a smoother routing to the throttle body, we have factory ones on the shelf

QUOTE(JeffBowlsby @ Jan 22 2019, 10:12 PM) *

Been wondering about these orange straps, I have only seen a very few. What do we know about them?

What is their function?

My limited info suggests they are on the 1973 cars...but were these provided on all/other years? D-Jet only or L-Jet too? All engine sizes?

Original factory equipment or recall?

What are these made of - cloth, vinyl, rubber? Length/width/thickness? A pair of holes for mounting?

Anyone have these available or willing to repro them? I will buy one if available.

This is the problem with liking a 50 year old car. We have talked about everything else already...
