hello everyone, I'm relatively new to 914s but have been involved with Porsches for many years. I'm in the process of restoring a 914-6. Overall its a fairly original non-rusty car (it was ziebarted when new). I purchased the car from a gentleman that bought in 1972. I am trying to do the restoration as much back to stock as possible. I was hoping someone could help me out with a few items.
1) what would the original suspension have been on the car and what color were the shocks? 2) Would the car have come with a front sway bar or did the PO add that? 3) The engine is original to the car but at one point the PO tossed the air filter housing. Anyone have a line on where i can find and original air filter housing? Thanks in advance |

If you want to convert from the early pinch ball joints to the later wedge ball joints, or the bottom of your strut is damaged, Zims has a machining service where they remove the old pinch ball joint socket from the bottom of the strut and replace it with a newly machined part for the wedge ball joint. You get to keep your factory original strut, but you get the safety of a wedge ball joint.
The front struts on Elwood were the prototype for this conversion, so I know it works. Contact Aaron at 817-267-4451 or 1-800-356-2964 for more information and pricing. Aaron is also on here as partsguy22. http://allzim.com/index.html |
