if anyone knows where I could pick up a set or two of the 914 Six Gt hood pin plates please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks very much

we get them from Mittelmotor, they are exact!!!!!!!!

Hope to see your car in the near future. By the way, you should join us this Sunday at Bruce's swap meet in Riverside. You can buy or sell!!!!

I couldn't find. Anyone know where to get the square ones?

One of the members here was making sets. Merak? Sorry I probably don’t have the name right but others will chime in.

Marek makes em, but they are not correctly sized, Ive made a bunch, see Conedogger..

Eric @ PMB may have a source. If not let me know, these are pretty simple.

You should put some packages together.

I got mine from Mittlemotor as well - they are accurate and high quality. I also sourced the GT headlight kit from them.

I believe this is the right link but no photo so I'd ask them -

@mikey914 I looked at making them and at first blush they seem easy. Then I dug in and realized they are actually a stamped part with corners that fold inward. Otherwise I would be making them . I might still make some one offs for myself but this is a bigger project to make correct then one would think.

ya that was me ..go for it..

Still not thinking too hard to do with the equipment we have, but anyone have a good pic of these?

i just made my own

Here is a picture. Not exactly as per original but then my pins also ended up in slightly different places due to the fibreglass bonnet construct.....

I am pretty happy with these - they will do the job.....They are temporarily held with allen screws but will be flush riveted once the bonnet is painted.

My fuel filler came from Marek - not original dull alloy but I love it!

and another detailed pictureClick to view attachment
Still a small chamfer to put on the edges and a bit of spit and polish......

The above pictured is what people think they look like but they are not correct. I will see if I can find a picture

Here you go and they need to be curved . Click to view attachment

me too. it's not hard and my car isn't a factory original
stainless steel sheet; drill the holes, cut to size; rivet in place

They aren’t square.

Jeff is the source. And, he’ll make them out of stainless or aluminum or...

I Have the drawings somewhere, but easier just to PM sixnotfour

@coneDodger look at my pictures they are not square this is dimensions from an NOS set from a friends stash 90 minutes to south of me..

Made mine also. Best, MarkClick to view attachment

Agree?

No one is talking about you Ben. A previous post said words to the effect, ‘they’re square, how hard is that.’ And then edited it away.

@campbellcj

Sorry that was tongue in cheek .

Perhaps I should start with making the pins. Then guys that do their own thing can buy separate from the kit. As far as doing the lip we can do that, but how many sets should I end up making?

I have not seen much addressing the mounting of the pins to the car. The kit I got did not account for attachment of the frontmost pins, so there was some minor fab entailed. Another minor annoyance is I've found the nuts come loose; should switch to nyloc nuts but it's hard enough as it is getting/holding the pin height and orientation right while tightening the fasteners. My car vibrates and runs at high speed/rpm much more than the typical 914, tho.

Mine is just aluminum stock reveted under hood seal. MarkClick to view attachment Click to view attachment

Yup that's exactly what I did

Mark, what are those nylon leveling pieces you used?

Just nylon spacers from the local hardware store. Drilled center to match latch pins and belt sanded the nylon to correct angle, both top and bottom. Nice part about it, as you rotate the pin... you can match the above hood pin hole perfectly. This is not an issue with fiberglass hoods (flex), but mine is the original steel and wanted to have it line up correctly with a round hole in the hood. Hope that helps. Best, Mark

Just FYI...Pin angle should be 71 degrees (90 degrees is vertical) for correct angle from base of pin. This make hood/pin alignment very easy. Mark
