Jim,
Will that 911 steering wheel fit the earlier 914 with out the bigger turn signal switches? Does your horn work? Did you just call a west coast dismantler for one? Splines are the same? What type of seats do you have in your 914? They don't look stock. |

Buck, the steering wheel was off of my 1980SC (I put an 87 interior in that car). The splines were fine..there is just about 1/2 inch gap though. So, I cut down the plastic cover off of the back of the 914..used the 914 turnsignal stopper thing and the horn ring. Everything works fine.
The seats are Koenig's (konig's?) made for a 914. Very high side bolsters and match the 914 backpad perfect. From the rear of the car you can't tell the difference as the headrests match the stock 914 headrest form. Pain to get in and out of but you fit in there like a hand in a glove. |

Jim are these the koenigs you are talking about? I just got a pair of corbeau classics but don't like they way they feel. The top of the seat is too low on my spine of the scapulas. Are those black seats or are they grey?

Buck..those are not the seats. These seats are black with black cloth inserts. See attached pic of the seats as I was installing the interior:

Just saw an opportunity to show off my recovered wheel for my '73 that will someday (finger's crossed) actually be back on the road. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)
Yeah....I got bored a couple of years ago and polished the horn button, and steering column cover (not shown)............I've got to quit "dickin' around" so much on the little shit, and put it back together. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) |

Okay...what a DA, forgot the pic (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif)
Dent in the leather on the r/h side is just a impression from storage............might as well hang it on the wall, safer there than in my messy-ass garage. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/alfred.gif) Attached image(s) |
