We have been casting these by hand for some time as they are needed. We have finally stepped up to high volume tooling and you can benefit for that.
The grills are an important part of keeping larger debris items out of your airbox. They were a late car item but can be retrofitted into the early cars. You may not even notice that you have this as many were painted over as removing the airbox is a pain, and most body shops don’t want to even think about it. May are painted over. As I mentioned these were hand cast, that meant that we had to go through and clean up the flash on these in the center “grill area” this required a lot of time.
These are “correct” for cars 1973-76 model years starting with VIN #24929. This set can be used for any model year as the grille only requires the top seal for backdating.
We had been selling these at $25 a pop as there was a lot of labor in them. Making this jump in tooling makes a better quality part and we can reduce the cost of what we can sell them at. The GB price on these The seal me make is a silicone seal that you can use glycerin to help slide in place. The OEM seals are a very small and hard to keep seated seal that caused me lots of frustration, so I made the larger seal that is easier to hold in place and provides a water tight seal.
Ian has even done up a great thread with a how to - https://youtu.be/Uhs6pedBOXM
You may not need it now but the now you have the ability to save a good chunk of change.
We are just finishing up these and they will be ready in about 14 days.

Figured that since there were a few threads popping up on the airbox it was worth putting this up a little early. We also make many of the misc clips that hold these together so if you are missing one perfect time put back on.

All 914s can have these. These are “correct” for cars 1973-76 model years starting with VIN #24929. They do keep larger debris like leaves from accumulating where they are a pain to remove.
