I want one. I have my original somewhere, but I can't find it. I also need the support bracket. Or at least a picture of a real part so I can fab one up. Mine is missing.

Wow. You said guess, and that is what is was. I knew it was not from a four, and that was the only thing I could think of that a six had that a four didn't

At this rate, there will soon be more 914/6's on the road than the factory ever built. driving.gif driving-girl.gif

This might be a dumb question, but what did this hand throttle do on a six? Was this the crew control switch? John confused24.gif
JmuRiz
Poor-man's cruise control biggrin.gif

It's so you can keep the idle up until the car warms up. I wish I had one on my 914/4 when it had carbs...I may get one for the 6 conversion if I go carbs....actually I'd like one for my 356 too, idle is low when cold and high when warm.
GeorgeRud
Wonderful addition to your line!

I would love to get one for my conversion as it is helpful when getting the beast to run when cold. Either that or an automatic throttle blipping device to keep it running until it warms up!!!!!!

BTW, they do work pretty well as a poor man's cruise control.

All over this one. smilie_pokal.gif

Never would have occurred to me. So of course now I'll have to give it a try... smile.gif

Those look awesome Mark. Glad mine works, but good to know there's a source if something happens - or if I need to replace the bracket or something.

Want one of these too! popcorn[1].gif
RON S.

I want one to, I already have the throttle lever mounted.

As usual, another great reproduction from Mikey.

I'll take one too, since I already knew what it was.... smile.gif

Built-up 2.4's with MFI really benefit from these. Based on my sample size of 1 (and the lack of an installed MFI thermostat). biggrin.gif

Jon, works best for carbs, during warm up.

Mark,

Any chance that you have a supply of the 914-6 black throttle knobs? I keep painting a red heater knob black, but it hasn't worked well. The red knobs are plentiful but I can't find a black one.

Since you are working on something new, would you consider making the "silent bloc" that is NLA and holds or doesn't hold in my case, the hard top down in back. All of the used ones are rotting out.
moparrob
Oh man! What do you get the man that has everything? ONE OF THESE!

This will be perfect for my conversion. I just hope it comes with instructions on how/ where to hook it up...

Please let me know when available.

How to install the Handgas lever
for all Years and Types

What you need:
1x Handgaslever set
Tools
10mm Hexnut
13mm Hexnut
Mikey914
Mark the position of the shift rod
This will be the easy way to meet the right position in the reassembling phase



Loosen the screw and pull out the shift rod
Now remove the 3 screws from the shifter and pull out the shifter
Remove the black knob from the lever arm
Mikey914
Slide the lever arm through the front slot on the shifter bracket
Mikey914
Install the bracket for the push rod


Be sure that’s the bracket is in place like the picture shows

The front of the shifter base on a tailshifter trans has a slot so I'm guessing Porsche used the same shifter on the 4 and 6. Would be cool to mount the extra lever for the oil slick/tire spike door or maybe the afterburners.
Mikey914
After removing the front cap of the push rod place the shifter and the lever arm
back in place.
Be sure that the bracket in is the right position the bore of the shifter bracket must meet the bore of the bracket and the small pin in the lever arm bracket must fit the small bore in the shifter bracket.
At this point you must also thread the push rod front end in the bore
of the installed bracket.
Mikey914
Reassembling your shifter with the shift rod
Push the end cap over the front end of the push rod.


Be sure that you have tightened all screws!



Next to come - Installation at pedal assembly
Mikey914
I'd like to take credit for these, but they are from a German source and they will be retailed at -
Complete set without the black knob: $250

Group buy price will be $199+ shipping ($6 or so)


Also available:
pedal cluster enhancement $20
middle tunnel bracket $50
push rod withaout endcap $50

It looks like all 3 may be sold- tenitively

moparrob
Hmmm, how much installed. happy11.gif

I'm in but need the whole mess including the handle. Does your kit include everything for it to work besides the handle?
jim_hoyland
It's my understanding that if you have a Rennshifter it will have to be modified so the lever will be able to swing ?

Not having a Rennshifter I can't confirm this but it may be a possibility


The 3 are in I have 2 going out today and one left!

Any answer to the question I asked? confused24.gif

This would be for my 2.4 conversion with webers.
Mikey914
Sorry,
Yes there is no reason you couldn't use these in that application. It simply "preloads" the throttle cable.

Pretty certain that there are already double the number of original 6's in conversions if not more...

I think this only one detail.
The most conversions are not complete
The most have the original -4 igniton swtich and other missing details.

The most converisions I have seen had the following missing -6er parts:

1. Hand throttle
2. OE headers
3 .6er steering rack/ignition switch
4. 6er water bottle
and other -6 parts.

In Europe it is harder to identify a conversion because in a 72er 6er
they used #3 and #4 from the -4
Mikey914
More of these are done and I was going to bring in some more. I kknow there was at least one that is needed, anyone else.
