Front Trunk, What goes in this hole? Options

[bbrock]

I'm trying to figure out what is supposed to plug the hole the arrow is pointing to. I'm pretty sure I have the right bits in the other holes and they are as follows:

1 -

2 -

3 -


My bet would be that a second drain tube (3) goes in that rear hole but 914rubber only includes one in their full restoration kit. I have a mystery third bumper (1) with an offset post that I thought I harvested from a donor trunk, but maybe it goes in that hole to keep the spare tire elevated slightly off the trunk floor. Anyone know the correct widget for that spot? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Thanks Tom,

I did look through the "few and rare" pics as well as the front trunk topic and the "show me your undies" threads. I just couldn't find a pic to make out exactly what kind of rubber went in those holes as there aren't many pics from the underside and #2 and #3 look very similar from the top side. I recall seeing the reference pic you were talking about and that's what I was looking for but couldn't find it. I also seem to recall a discussion about how many drain tubes there should be and Mark was unaware of the second one, which explains why the kit only has one.

Just an FYI, it doesn't look like the "Complete Restoration Kit" has been updated as new products have been developed so it isn't as complete as it was when they first set it up. I had to order a few additional items that weren't included in the kit like plastic sleeve for wire hold downs, front dash vinyl, white protector rings inside the frunk reinforcements where the harness passes through, plastic seat belt washers etc. The kit is still a good deal, but it would be nice if it were updated to include some of the new stuff they've made so it is "complete" again.

I don't know if their kit includes them, but there are also the set of big plastic/rubber hole plugs along the outer front wall behind the front bumper. IIRC 914Rubber also makes repros of them too.

Here's the front trunk drain tube, but this is still available from Porsche as a genuine part, since it's used as the headlight bucket drain tube in their vaunted 911/912/930 lines. -

I was looking on the various iterations of the 914Rubber websites, cuz I thought that they'd used the front trunk pic showing them both at one time, to say how many are needed (2).

But no pic of both tubes there either, unless it was at his member vender posts on here? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I don't find them in my 2010 914 PET parts manual (must've been in the 2008 or older versions which I have packed away).

You may also be able to find them in the 8 vol. 914 factory shop manual - which you can buy on CD with other docs goodies from AA, but I don't have time to search thru my manuals now.
