Can someone give me dimensions of standard 914 Targa panel please? I am 850 kms from my car so can’t do it myself. Tango 914 came with a standard top and another with a glass moon roof installed - yuk. I have an idea of permanently bolting a rack to this one to give me a “rally look “ option - so need to check dimensions before ordering. Has anyone done this? Either successfully or unsuccessfully? Thanks Clive |

You have the idea - Wayne’s car I think- I was parked next to it at Rennsport 2018.
Probably a bit smaller than that - have my eye on a couple - hence need dimensions. Thx C |

Fantastic- thanks.
What’s an inch? Seriously though that’s what I needed- thanks! So, anybody bolted a rack or anything else to a Targa panel? |

Searching for a rack that will fit and do the job- most seem too big.
Classic beetle or mini rack perhaps? Thoughts anyone? |

This might work....I considered this option before I found my original KARO roof rack. Eric Linden at Auto Foreign Services sells reproductions of the original 911 racks in chrome and powder coated black. The blue 914 in the photo below has one mounted. https://www.autoforeignservices.com/ Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

I think you could easily adapt a trailer hitch basket.
Similar dimensions - cheap enough. Just bolt on some feet/risers, and cut off the tongue mount part? |
