I am looking for the rubber angled grommets that are found under the battery tray of a 914 which hold the fuel lines steady and from cutting themselves on the metal as they pass through the sub-frame on there way up to meet with the fuel lines that supply the injectors.

Are they still available?
If not, what do you/I use now?

Also, can we still buy the plastic clips which snap into the firewall and hold the fuel lines as well? Mine are white/clear plastic and are very brittle...

I own a 75 914 2.0

Thanks in advance,
Bryan

Last time i checked the rubber grommets were still available from Porsche ...

Andy,

Any idea on part number? I searched all over and could not find it.

Any help on those plastic clips?

Thanks,
Bryan

It's the same as a VW part. You can get them here for $2.00. These are also used for the brake lines from the brake reservior.

Are these the same part for the fuel lines through the front bulkhead under the gas tank?

Never mind just re-read Sir Andy's post.

Give me a call tomorrow and I will look on a parts car that to see if I have good ones there.

Rats, I looked in the catalog and couldn't find them... Thanks for the part number, Opa Andy!

Guys, thanks for all the help. I looked all over Pelican and could not find them either. Is the rubber grommet that was pictured above also the same outer diameter to fit into the longitudinal in the engine bay. Just making sure before I purchase a few. They seem to be more readily available than the genuine Porsche ones.

Thanks again!

Here is a picture of the plastic clip.

Plastic clips NLA

I found alot of 914 rubber parts in West Coast Metric

It is the same as the VW Speedometer grommet used on Beetles. On the 914 it is for the front master cylinder lines from the plastic reservoir and the engine compartment fuel line grommet.

Guys, I'm still looking for a suitable plastic clip in the picture above to hold the fuel lines. If anyone has a comparable option that they have used feel free to let me know. I am stuck with this one and need some help

Thanks for all the help on the grommetts.. They arrived yesterday and look great.

Try looking for a spark plug wire loom that attaches to the valve cover. you may have to cut it down from 4 to 2. Why are you still using plastic fuel lines????

Good question. I will address that in a minute. The key is that the clip will also fit in the hole that is already in the metal so they will be in the same location. Does the spark plug wire holders have the same size plug which holds the clip to the metal? If so, then that could work.

Regarding the plastic fuel lines.. mine are still pliable and seem to be in good condition. All of the old cloth style lines in the engine compartment have been replaced but I figure why change them if they look good on inspection and are still pliable and flexible?? Also, how much time is invloved in changing the lines in the engine compartment and the tunnel?


Thanks,
Bryan

West Coast Metric has the spark plug wire looms you are looking for. As far as the plastic fuel lines, I don't care how good they look, they are 30 plus years old! The first thing I did was replace them with stainless lines just for piece of mind. I didn't want all my hard work to end up looking like a burnt offering.
