The rubber coated push clips that hold the rear grill and PORSCHE letters on to the grill, anyone got a good source for replacements. Have checked one of the 914 vendors and they are $2.40 each (uses 26 of them).

Would you have a part number? I just came from Lowes about 30 minutes ago. The staff there did not know of them. With a number they may be able to order if they don't stock. tom... |

Sorry no--no part number--but they have them--if they keep the stock up--they should be clearly marked in the specialty fasteners plastic bins--you may have to poke around a little in the drawers to find them....

I used the quick turn nuts and really small grommet that went inside the nuts--just like many stocker cars had

Now I'm confused, and in my case that happens very easily (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) What you got at Lowes, was it the rubber coated push clip or a quick turn nuts and really small grommet? tom... |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) YEA--thats it!
J/K Your choice--they have them both--I like the nuts cause they stay there with the tension--the rubber fills the gap and gives vibration dampning |

I couldn't find the push clips so I went to the hardware store and got a die that just fit on the studs of the PORSCHE letters, and threaded the studs. I painted regular steel nuts black and mounted the letters. Same with the grill, except I didn't thread them, just screwed on the nuts.

Go to a paint and body supply store. You can get packs of them, usually 15 to 20 per pack for about $2-3. Look on the carasel (sp) thingy.
Later, Don |
