I am at the point on restoration, where I want to install the "hood" on my car before the engine goes in, but have a question. I have 2 later lids that I was going to use for a GT lid, and noticed they have rubber buffers on the hinge, to keep it from banging I suppose. My early lid does not have holes in the hinge for these bumpers. Anyone know if the early lids are supposed to have a bumper?
Thanks, Bill |

If I recall correctly, the rubber stop is installed under one of the fasteners for the rain tray to lid. Does a -6 have a rain tray? edit: PET 803-05 shows the rubber stop for a -6. Also shows the drip pan not for 914-6 |

I have an August 1970 1.7. It has the bumpers.
AA lists them for $29.95 each, or you can go to Stoddard and get 356 pedal buffers for $6.05 p/n 901-423-528-00 which worked. |

Are you asking about the rubber limiters on the lid hinges?
I was asking about these NLA parts in this thread a while back. I ended up making some out of late model stoppers and trimming them down to fit. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...4&hl=rubber |

Blind luck that I found them. http://www.stoddard.com/356-1/cables-pedal...423-528-00.html |

The lid on my six doesn't have the holes for the bumpers like the 4 cyl. cars, hence the question. The fact that the sixes have no rain tray would allow for the lighter bars I suppose. Amazing that the factory would change that many parts for so small a difference.

My six is very possible not to have its orig lid, it was modified into a GT lid at some point probably from a four donor. Very cool, I will order up a few sets tomorrow ! Thanks for the link ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
