Not sure if it was mentioned, I did not see it.

The early 914 glove box door pull is smaller on my 70 914-6.

They are the same on /4's & /6's for '70 & '71.

There are actually two "track" dimensions for any vehicle......Front & Rear. The factory spec comparing 914/4 vs. 914/6 were as follows;
Front Rear
914/4 1341 mm 1377 mm
914/6 1361 mm 1382 mm

The differences were due to "stock" wheel width (4-1/2" vs 5-1/2") and the /6 having vented discs up front.
The spec changed again when the /4's got 5-1/2" wheels;
1343 mm 1383 mm
Keep in mind this information is when they were new with stock equipment.

A few other notable dimensions:
The overall height of the /6 was higher than the /4.
Factory specs were;
Height (unladen)
/6 = 48.4"
/4 = 48.0" (thru '72)
Ground Clearance (loaded):
/6 = 5.4"
/4 = 4.7" (thru '72)

The dimensions for the /4 changed beginning in '73.

I did not see it mentioned. Did all the early 914's receive the white head light surrounds. I have seen it mentioned on othe fourms the six cars got black??

I have seen several early photos of six cars with white lamp surrounds.

I assumed the black ones came later?

Its interesting on the internet how some spout off facts, but they are actually quite clueless.

I had an idea all the early 914s including the sixes were white or now aged off white...!

OK, with the bickering removed, let's just come to the realization that ALL 914's thru 1973 had white headlight surrouds. Four or Six didn't matter - white.

Undoubtedly, many white surroubds have been altered in hue by age and UV, but they were once bone white.

No exceptions known.

BTW, the yellowed white surrounds are easily restored.

mike, go mclendon's and buy some "30second Miracle" cleaner. wash both surrounds lightly with detergent and put them both, yes at the same time, in a bucket with a diluted solution. make sure they are COMPLETELY covered. rinse and check every 5 minutes or so and swish them around. really rinse them well when they are white enough for you. the surrounds will look great.

Tool kit - what are the differences?


tool kit for the six from previous post. 65-70 911 tool kit w/ 914 towing eye added.


I don't have the factory tool kit for my car, but would like to put one together. If yours is complete, can you please tell me everything that came with the tool kit?

I have a 1975 914 (that I am selling in the classifieds (http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=197510&st=0&gopid=1769486&#entry1769486) and obtaining a 1974. Thank you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

what else?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy


My "plain Jayne" '70 914-4 did not have a center console.

Neither the '4 or '6 had a headliner.


My six had no headliner also, but I bought it in 1997 so who knows. Now Dr.914 told me at parade it was the way it came from factory! HELP!!! Who's right.

Gary

You are right. No headliner in the early sixes from the factory. Do not when it changed but all 71 and 72 sixes had a headliner installed
I have a 71-6 Euro and there is no fur under the top.
