Does the electronics console on the left side of the 914-6 engine compartment have a cover? I have been looking for one and now I am not sure it has one? School me and show a picture if available please.

QUOTE(Speedo @ Sep 3 2022, 06:44 AM)  The Square one is correct; you will need the stud and knurled knob also for a 70 |

the cover was changed when they installed the retractable seat belt, it was necessary to angle the top of the cover to fit under the bolt plate, so the one without the slope is correct for a 914/6

Yep, my Mar '70 -6 came with a cover, threaded rod and knurled knob just like the picture. Interesting there is no Porsche logo or part number on the cover.

QUOTE(Speedo @ Sep 3 2022, 06:44 AM) thats an interesting thread to read. seems like very early 4s and 6s never had the circuit/relay board cover! but they did a recall to install it. pretty dumb of vw and porsche not to have covered it originally. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) sitting right there getting rained on. geez. i know the 914 was an entry level car to keep costs down but thats taking things a bit far.

Ok,
So they missed me on the recall. I would like to source a cover. If you have an extra that will fit, PM me and let's make it happen. |

I see in the recall there are 2 "rubber strips" and a stopper. It seems to me that the cap is supposed to be held on by rubber bands and I guess the stopper is to plug the hole that the stud would go through.
Here's the board from my early car on the left next to one from a 71 on the right. You can see there's no boss even to mount a stud.  |

Early board also had metal capped relays and wasn’t potted on the bottom.

All sixes had a unique relay board with a stud and knurled knob. |
