I recently purchased the engine deck lid and front hood buffer stops from 914Rubber. I've already successfully replaced the engine deck lid ones. Where in the front trunk do the buffer/bumper stops go in the front front area? I've looked at the PET (802-00 P26, 802-05 P32) and it's not specific as to where they go for the front trunk. OEM part number 91455925310.

QUOTE(Mikey914 @ Jun 3 2021, 09:35 PM)  In the front left and right corner holes. I have a 74 914. In the front and left right corner holes I have the adjustable stops as indicated by the arrows. Would there be another place for them or did Porsche change something between early vs late 914s? I also bought new adjustable stops from your company as well. I am glad that your company exists for our little cars.  |

You might have figured this out already, but here is a pic of where those bumper stops go. As you already noticed, they are different from the adjustable stops for the lids.

As you already noticed, they are different from the adjustable stops for the lids. Yours are outside in. They're there to "preload" the front valance. They push against the valance to keep it rigid. |

As you already noticed, they are different from the adjustable stops for the lids. So I took another look at my 74 and saw where they go, but it seems mine are installed the other way with the bumpers facing outside the car and contacting the front valance. So it looks like I will be replacing those as they are currently installed where they contact the front valance. Don't mind the dirt and debris under the spare. I have to clean it out again. She's a driver for the most part right now and no where near concours ready. Attached thumbnail(s)

I just need to flip them around. I wonder if I could do the same with my nipples. Kinda bummed Mark won't touch them though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I just read windforfuns reply after I posted my photo. I also read through your build thread and it looks like I will need to install the missing drain tubes under my spare tire as well. My guess is they disappeared over the years here in CA. |

I don't have any drain tubes under the spare tire. I don't think tubes are stock. Do you mean drain plugs? Plugs are what I have. FWIW. |

I've had 3 914s and all were missing those drain tubes. Didn't know they existed until researching for my rebuild. A word of warning about them though. I've had my car back in the road almost exactly two weeks after a 35 year intensive oxidation nap. Every time I walk out to the car in a parking lot, I see those tubes and for a split second think, WTF is hanging down under my car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) My "73 has only two drain tubes which exit the bottom of the car just behind the steering rack cover. One is for the air box (internal condensation) & the other is for the gas tank filler cap apron. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |
