This came from a '75 914. I replaced it with a stock wheel.
Decent shape...would be great for an autocrosser or race car. Leather cracked on top of wheel (12 o'clock) and small crack at around 5 o'clock position No horn ring. Don't see a manufacturer but says made in France. I assume it's a Formuling brand. $50 obo including shipping in CONUS. |

It IS a great little wheel if you want quick steering response in the twisties (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
How's the 'BB' coming along, Bill ? |

It IS a great little wheel if you want quick steering response in the twisties (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) How's the 'BB' coming along, Bill ? Pretty good! I think the carbs need to be rebuilt (as we discussed when I bought the car). The carbs popping at idle and at low driving RPM indicate a lean condition. The idle jets look like they are 50's (not 60's) so I might go up a size to 55 before I rebuild the carbs. I did pull all the jets and cleaned them with carb cleaner but it made no difference. So far I have: Installed the ignition switch Fixed the turn signal/emergency flashers Replaced the steering wheel with an original one (horn works, by the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) Replaced the rubber where the windows meet the targa bar (the ones on there were cracked) Installed a Camp914 strut kit on the rear trunk lid Fixed the interior passenger door handle Compounded, polished and waxed the whole car Next steps are: Adjust the valves for zero lash (will do that before I mess with the carbs) just to make sure Get the ATS wheels powder coated Drive the snot out of it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

In case you haven't found them yet, I think I put the carb rebuild kits in the center armrest box - in a small unmarked white box. I didn't have an idle popping issue out here, at least not after reaching full operating temperature. I never got the chance to check the AFR after installing 32mm venturies and rejetting the carbs ... I misplaced a suitcase with all my automotive diagnostic gear a few years ago - looked almost everywhere here, then thought I may have taken to AZ, but nope not there either. My wife found the suitcase a few weeks ago, buried up in the attic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Were the air horns a surprise? ... people aren't expecting that much noise out of a little car and it sure wakes them up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Post some pix when you get a chance - really like to see it all dressed up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
