OK here's one for ya!
in the course of putting a 914 together, i know we've all searched for that little unique part that is found on no other car and there is only one (or two or three) used on a 914. for instance, i was installing the thermostat cable roller on the engine case today and had to search for the bolt that the roller spins on. the parts catalog lists it as 271.821.767 and only calls it a 6mm bolt but it's more than that, it has a "bushing" like part of the bolt for tight clearance for the hole in the roller. my second listing is for the bumper on the engine lid that protects the lid from hitting the trunk when the trunk is opened. so.... what little unique part(s) do you look for at the bottom of all those parts bins when you go to the swap meets? i don't mean to create competition, just a thread that is a little informative, and can be used to recycle some of those hard to find parts back into the mainstream. it might help to list a description of the part and maybe part number. yes, i am following a 12 point program......

This is a good idea, I part out a lot of cars and knowing what is hard to get or find could be a good thing for me as well as others. I think a rust free hell hole is the hardest to find but you are talking removeable parts. I will watch this thread and learn what is hard to find and start keeping all I find and pass them to people who need them.

There is a bumper that fits on the engine lid to keep the engine lid from hitting an opened trunk?
Crap. Now I need something else? |

How about the 3mm hex bolt assembly that holds the end of the accelerator cable on a 1.8? I was sweating it out the other day when I couldn't find the damn thing. Also, intake manifold gaskets. Almost every aftermarket catalog place does not carry these. Finally, the screw/cap that holds the relay board cover in place. I need two of these so someone speak up if you have two of these laying around. Thanks

The 3mm bolt assembly is called a barrel nut or cable stop. Any decent VW shop should have one. Intake gaskets should be available from all the major parts places. At Pelican for example. The relay board cover nut should be reproduced by somebody. Cut some stock on a lathe and tap it. Mueller, go a working lathe? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

The plugs that go in the panel behind the front bumper.
The little special screw that holds the trim plate around the door handle. The adapter harness to connect a 72 wiring harness to a /6 relay board (Only used on 72 914-6s. They used a 4 cylinder wiring harness in the car, and a 6 cylinder relay board. Thus the adapter harness) |

Exact same as the door jamb switch. You can get them from any VW parts place. Used in practically every VW for years......... |

The black plastic horseshoe pieces that go on either side of the -6 steering column.
Chrome bumper plugs. The clear plastic plugs for the engine lid drain tube holes. The clips for the rear of the sail panel trim piece. The nylon spring bushings for the upper rear trunk latch. I'll second the "any hand trottle parts". 2.0 head with no cracks (not asking for much eh??) Side shifter transmission tail housings. Original side shifter with factory ltd slip. I'm running out of time, more than I'm running out of "needs"! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

The hardware to hold the pedal board on. I have never been able to find this stuff so my board just sits there.
