Problem... All the pics I see are of a late dash but I have a 70, sans glove box and vents. Is there anything similar you'd suggest?
http://www.9xauto.com/servlet/the-45/Porsc...ive-dash/DetailContact them & ask if they'd have the 70-71 dash version without the side vents & therefore a bit wider at left face & a wider glovebox door (by about 1" wider IIRC). Back in the day the dealers sold accessory kits with wood & turned aluminum dash faces (excluding the instr. pod IIRC) for the 914s - in both 70-71 & 72-76 versions.
FYI - Here's a rosewood one in my buddy's 71 914/4 (same dash set-up as yours) was put on by the dealer for a prior buyer who backed out, before my buddy bought it new (he actually wanted a turned alum. one which was by the same accy. mfgr. - he coming from a 57 Chevy Bel Air that was wrecked)....

You can send them these pix if they don't know about the 70-71 dash face when you ask.
If 9x doesn't offer the early style, keep looking around, or contact a local sheet metal shop who fabricates them for hot rods, to measure yours then make it for your specs - turned, brushed (less reflective), polished, etc.
Hope this helps!
