Does anybody have pic handy of the rear bumper metal insert sans the rubber cover? I'm curious about what this hitch is attached to and how it might be fastened.

QUOTE(914rrr @ Jun 19 2025, 07:43 AM)  One accessory feature this 914 has is a trailer hitch -ish. I believe the PO used it to tow his mower. I think it's attached to the metal rear bumper frame / insert with fairly substantial bolts. Has anyone else ever done this and / or is this even quasi-legit? My dad installed a hitch on his '75. He told me he used stock holes in the trunk floor (I think they are usually plugged with a plastic piece) to mount it and it ran up under the bumper similar to the placement of yours. He towed a Hobie Cat from Illinois to Florida and back.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
