Looks like a swivel foot, and the foot is missing. Don't know much about VW swivel feet, but the 911 used them, and some people adapt the 911 swivel to the 914/4 engine. Better make sure of what you have there. The Type 4 never came with those as stock. Check with Mark Henry on a replacement.

i have sent a message to mark , he agree it is a swivell foot , apparently they are popular with the HI performace people, the whole thing here is that i have a brand new rebuild engine but i have no idea what's in it, the guy who had it before sent the tranny and engine to be rebuild and noticed after that the long were dead, that's when I got the car, an abandon project, so i spent the last 6 month fixing the body and doing the paint, so not the car is all assemble but the engine, the engine still had the machine shop tag but it just said rebuid head and bored out to 1.8 so that is the only thing I know about it, also the usual 1.7 adjuster does not fit because of an angle difference and also it is too short, the rocker are probably different????

Of the rocker assembly. And, from the looks of the nut, the head of the swivel is stuck in it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

Be sure and only use the OEM Porsche swivel feet as the aftermarket ones suck.

I know I have a few 911 swivels, so they are relatively handy if they are needed in a hurry.

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I only have a complete set...shipping is the problem...UPS will charge me big time, not worth it for one screw.
Slits got it, the screw snapped...I wouldn't touch that set with a ten foot pole. You could get one of off Davep, but I'd toss them and use stock or a new set of real Porsche swivel foot adjusters. |
