Wiring harness snorkel, 91461201810 Options

Mark, still need that snorkel for my 74… I will order 10 if it gets you to make this sooner please!

Doesn’t Kroon have them?

Also try resto design since they are making 914-4 harnesses.

No. No one has the snorkel for a 74.

No. No one has the snorkel for a 74.

Then how are they making complete harnesses?

Welcome to prove me wrong, Ben… or anyone else for that matter. If you can find a parts listing that I can’t, I’ll f-ing buy you one too just for the trouble.

All I want is a harness tube that fits a 74 since “all years” is not a factual statement.

I would just call Pete at RD on Monday. That will answer the question for sure.

The 74-76 double end grommet (snorkel tube) is not made, the part from 914Rubber is not technically correct for any 914/4 but can be modified to function. 914Rubber is working on them, but they have lots of irons in the fire. Be patient and work around it for now.

Dimensions upper end x lower end x length are:

1970-73 30mm (i.d.) x 40mm (i.d.) x 230mm (upper seat to center of lower end)
1974-76 40mm (i.d.) x 40mm (i.d.) x 270mm (upper seat to center of lower end)

914Rubber 30mm (i.d.) x 40mm (i.d.) x 270mm (upper seat to center of lower end)

I’ve used the workaround in the thread above on a ‘75 and it came out excellent!

I know this has been discussed before, but there was no thread specific to the issue and I couldn’t find the discussion. So, I wanted to post one that others can find.

Bottom line, I don’t know the scope or differences among years and models, but the wiring harness snorkel sold by 914 rubber, definitely does not fit my 74. @Mikey914 any chance you’d be willing to make one with a proper size top for whatever years have this size?


Or, does anyone know a source for one that will fit my 74?

if i have this right the 914rubber snorkel is correct length for a 74, but the upper grommet end is too small. hole through engine shelf is larger on later cars?
(i ask this as i have a 74 so would not have a clue what earlier cars are like).

but if the hole is the problem. weld in a suitably sized washer to the underside of the engine shelf as a reducer. paint to match.

Yes I guess or find the correct grommet. Took me until after my car was painted to discover the discrepancy and mine fits like a hot dog in a hall way. I would love to make this part just don’t have the energy or time for it.

Too long and the top flare is way too small. I’d rather pay for someone to make a batch of the right dimensions and sell them here myself to the benefit of everyone with a 74+ than arbitrarily mod the car.

I’m going to start looking into injection molding companies. Lots of them can 3D print molds now that significantly reduce tooling costs for small batch parts.

Van great idea. I would be happy to have them on my website if you do.

i'll support the cause and buy one.
the one on mine i can tell is aged.
but of course i won't be replacing it because i won't be getting the loom out at any point.
but i will put it in the box on the shelf with everything else for the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I don’t even have a 74’ but will support you in your quest by buying one if you decide to go that route.

Formlabs recently introduced a machine that prints silicone rubber parts that are really nice (like right out of a mold). Most printed elastomeric parts previously were pretty much crap.

I've seen and held a couple of these parts - pulled on them stretched them etc and they seemed like real parts. Formlabs machines build the parts layer by layer wherein they screed material across a thin layer at a time and then cure the material layer by layer.

Try this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDoUztSoyvk&t=2s

I'm not affiliated with the company, but this is the first time I've ever seen/felt printed elastomers that were anywhere close to a production part.
