I think I'm missing the outer bearing. That seems to be easily sourced(?) Will the '73 /4 steering column shaft fit into this? It would allow me to use the later wheel which seems to be more available. Also, the lower circle, any body have/source those? The one that holds the inner bearing in?

This is all that came in the box.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Here's where I'm at so far, and I'm just going to use that early switch because I don't care so much about originality and which key it uses. Will the /6 plastic bezel screw onto my early switch? Anybody?




The lower bearing is held in place with "C" clips. The upper bearing that you have already installed has a slight interference fit. I believe that the steering wheel fits in there and removed all of the play. I believe the lower bearing is the same between 914/914/6 and 911.

Wondering? what are the benefits of this mod? Converting to let side

Cool factor goes through the roof.

If you're doing a /6 conversion it makes it a little more authentic, true to what Porsche did. You don't have to do it, really it's just cosmetic.

But like Mark said...cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I want one too; anyone in So Cal ordering one ? I'd like to combine an order...

I will take one if you are ordering one. We can split the shipping cost.


Great, lets see whether Larmo, Forrest, or ? want to order too.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Now, back to business, will a stock /4 steering shaft work inside of this column if I'm not going to use the lock mechanism?

Lawrence, circlips are availiable from OPC, stoddard etc

I don't get the 35x1.5 dim, could swear the tube is bigger than that, should be cheap as chips if you can find a non Porsche source

Positive the late -4 column uses the same clip

The electrical connections for the ignition switch and the wiper/turn signal stalks are obviously very different when converting to the 911 column.

Does anyone have a chart with the pinout locations?

Jeff B


I did a pin-out ID for the Ignition Switch; will take a pic and post later


Yes Please! That would be awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

"They appear interchangeable."

I just want to be sure before I buy an extra /4 shaft.

Anybody got a spare FS?

Traced out one of my 911 ignition harnesses today. I'll try to keep adding these one at a time cause it's a tedious process. Next time I'll add to this spreadsheet showing where these wires would go on a 914.

Got a question: how much room behind the dash to accommodate the electrical plug? Seems like it's going to interfere with the fuse panel ?
