in the summer of '69 the author visited zuffenhausen where he was shown what he desrcibed as a "prototype" 914-6. |

The back cover is a copy of the table of contents. The ISBN number is on the lower right corner if one wanted to search for a copy. I got mine at a VW show/swap meet from a local guy who sells vintage automobile, uh, documents and books.

Those "steel" wheels in EJM's post. Aren't those actually the Mahle "gasburner" alloys?

Yep, those are Mahle Gas-Burners. I have a set that I plan on using on my 914-6. They're magnesium I think and they are the lightest wheels Porsche ever used. |

I think gas burners are 11lbs each.

Minilights are light in name only. They are cast aluminum and not really all that light compared to the gas burners. People used the Minilights because they came in a bunch of different offsets. |
