I was doing a little research on the emergency brake system and as it turns out the 1970 914/6s that I looked at do not have a spring. This must have been a later modification.

this is a 1972 with the spring hole and the plate for cover

I was wondering why you were going with a spring for a six but it's not my car. No metal cover either on the early cars.

one of my sixes has been modified (spring added), so the spring must give a more positive pull (release) of the e-brake.

I'm sure you are right. It's worth dripping or spraying dry lube in each of the cables before installation. Makes everything work smoother and easier.

I put the heat control lever and choke lever in oxalic acid to take the small rust spots off of the chrome. Already to wax now

I know people either love or hate the roll bar vinyl, but for me a 914 has to have it. It's a signature piece. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

With this white car it really looks nice, the black and white contrast is stunning IMHO

We received these great extra long visor end mountings. They are all metal so they should not loosen up like the stock units.
