3 types

1 long style, with a large hole for a 6cl exhaust,
1 long style, small porthole for early 1.7 exhaust
1 styele, short seen on late 71-76 models (most common), has a notch for the tailpip

I don't know about the hole size between the 4 and 6 long valences, but the hole is clearly farther to the left on the 6.

Aaron - A few months ago I was also looking for a wide style early rear valance.
I ended up buying mine from E.A.S.Y. They said they had a few more in stock. What I got was not perfect. That was not a problem for me since I also planned to do some custom mods. All it needed was a can of brake cleaner to get off a layer of grease and oil, media blasting, some cutting and welding to relocate the exhaust hole, some (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) and a little bondo, sanding, primer and paint.

Yeah. I know that now. The one I got from EASY turned out to be more work than I expected, but still less than either of yours would have needed.

Don't feel bad Ron. I promise I will hit you up when I need a special favor or a rare part. I try to keep all of the 'A' listers like you in reserve until I really need them.

I know that next time you might not be in such a generous mood.
If I have to I'll challenge you to a race from Kingman to Oatman - double or nothing.

Performance Products catalog (p. 146) shows reproduction fiberglass rear valances. They show a 914 six "deep" valance ($90)
They also list one with no cut out but don't show a pic ($75). It is likely the deep valance. Might be worth a call if you don't have to have metal.
