Hi,
I am replacing ALL of the rubber in our '74 2.0. All is going well though the TARGA pieces are a bear. In the frunk the seal that goes around the entire frunk will not allow the lid to close all the way without bending the lid!!!  Seems that it is too tall? The old rubber though beat up, fits and allows the lid to close fine.  I have a note into 914Rubber, but I thought I would ask the team here if this is a common problem?  THANK YOU ctc911CTC |

IIRC, Mark said the way to tell the early and late gaskets apart was to look for a step in the underside profile at the rear corners near the hinge. I don't remember if it was on the fender or cowl side but know that i was just about to install mine and ran out to check and was able to verify I had the correct seal. it went in without any trouble.
