I think you guys with the later cars 75-76 don't need the inner mount. The back wall of the trunk is different. Probably just a couple flat washers or turn the lip inward?
ConeDodger
And mine is mounted. evilgrin.gif I understand that the mounts at least and possibly everything from the harness to the fog light will now be handled by 914Rubber.Com.

That looks great, Rob!!!!

How are you going to configure the light as far as how it turns on?

Correctly. I have the reproduction harness so it will be going on with my front fogs...
How about you Lawrence?

Hi Rob,

I just noticed your fog light location is based on your GT trunk straps location & I agree with Eric and your location.

Mine is located based on a plain 914 rear end about 2"+ from the edge of the tail light to the edge of the Fog Light.

So both locations is correct, right?? shades.gif

I suspect the location depended on how many beers Hans had at lunch Tom. blink.gif

Everything is correct! We'll sort of. Over to the left is correct... evilgrin.gif

They've got to deal with Brexit now Arne. No one cares any more. blink.gif

Seriously, I put the measurement above. Because Eric and I have GT replica cars, ours are just a little outboard. That is the measurement I put above...

Hi Rob,

Just stirring the pot. stirthepot.gif We need an official Concourse Weenie to make a statement. lol-2.gif Hello Mr. Garvey are you there, smoke.gif

Both locations are correct based on a GT or Plain 914 in my opinion popcorn[1].gif The goal is to drill (3) holes correctly.

Where has Pat been lately? Or has he been grounded to the O&H Forum? I love Pat. He's a wealth of knowledge.

Got these in from Original Customs and will be adding to site shortly.

Mark,
I know you bought out the rest of the mounts. Are you doing a complete kit option? I heard you were doing the harness. So, all you need then is the light housing and bulbs (the light housing comes without a bulb). I put an LED in mine. I haven't run the harness yet but I did power it up and she works nice! biggrin.gif
Mikey914
Thanks Rob,
Yes putting together a complete kit and bringing in some lights too,

Just curious if this actually helps and how? How and when does it light up?

James,
I believe these were required in Germany. It lights up when you turn on your front fog lights IF you wire them correctly. I hear some are wiring it as a third brake light.
On the Autobahn, traffic comes up pretty quickly from the rear. It helps by making you more visible.

I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the knowledge!

I would like to order a complete rear fog light kit.

Thanks

Mikey914
Yes and hot more of the lights in from the UK. Unfortunately they have a black plastic back, they will be available for even less for those that want them.

More in a few days,
Mark

All brackets went to 914Rubber.com at the end of the initial group buy. You can buy everything from them...

PM with email sent. & Thanks

So what is 'correct' black or Chrome? I thought the black Hella rear fog was correct for a 914, i.e., black fogs front and rear. 911's didn't switch over to black rear fogs until the mid 70's. Hella Kits were available with either for years.

The correct is the chrome. Black works, but not concurs.

Thanks, Silver it is...
