ok, below is a original Porsche 914 Part that i had never seen before.
it is, however, crucial to keep our little cars on the road!
he/she who can guess first where it goes and what function it has will get a (1) free Beer on me at the WCC!
oh, and all the guys who came to the Jenny Fix-Her-Car-Sit-In today are exempt! so
here it is (says "S 202" on it), oh and it's from a '73 2.0L ... :

My guess is that it is the cap that sits on top of where the rear control arms bolt in to keep water out of the thread area.

The "S" stands for sucker. It was a numbering system the factory came up with to keep track of their vehicles. It mounts just below the battery.

It's the very important part located on the body. Its function is to keep the car on the road.

Well shit. I came to the Jenny-fix-her-car-sit-in today, and I don't think I saw that part. I'll just quietly hang my head in shame... and hope that this particular crucial part is back on my car instead of at Andy's house next to his blurry camera.

cause i already said it's NOT part of the engine!
so, NO it's not mandatory for the car to run.
but it IS crucial for keeping your 914 on the road!

We took every nut, bolt & screw off the 72 before it broke in 1/2 and I don't remember seeing that part. Either it fell off before we got the car or had rusted away.
Or it's a galvanic anoide (to stop the car from rusting) and was never put on in the first place.
A dust cap/plug for the suspension....

It fits onto the handbrake assembly.

The key phrase is "on the road". Tells me it's either an alignment piece (literally on the road without drifting off) or safety related item (Germans are nuts about safety).
My gut instinct tells me it's one of those rubber pieces that holds the headlight assemblies in place. Or... maybe the elusive German flux capacitor.
