I know there is a difference in tops from early to late. My questions can the tops be interchangeable if the internal latches and fasteners are swapped? is it only the latches that make them different or is the structural also different?
Thanks in advance. |

I'm curious myself as I've never researched it. And I need to figure out someday which of a couple of tops I have around here are early or late. So this was timely. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Good evening, I am quite new to the forum but have already enjoyed a lot of different topics and find them quite helpful and motivating. Hope to contribute to this one. Looking at my Porsche 914 workshop manual I found the following information about the change of the roof: From July 4, 73, new roofs were used from VIN No. 4 73 292 6222. Further on Porsche introduced a new seal for the rear part that is not interchangeabel. I have tried to translate both sides that are covering the roof changes and attached them. Holger |
