Hi, one of my local scrap yards has a 944 being broken? I had a quick look, but wondered if anyone knows of any parts worth salvaging for use in a 914?

The headlight pivots are the same.
Hubs are wanted by VW Bus guys.

rear wheel spacers and 80mm studs.

combo gauge is nice if you have a waterpumper swap. 160mph speedo. other gauges jic.

5 lug wheels. My local Pic-a-part gets $100/set so even if I don't need them I can't say no.

There are other stuff like switches that can be resold.

Seat belts, screws and bolts.

The small space saver spare may be worth getting, depending on condition.

The compressors for these are worth good money also.

Right I feel trip back is on the cards. I looked at the space saver, which was kind of weird looking!

Do they fit a 914?

I think the wheels have gone, are the rear spacers attached to the hubs or simply over the studs??

I had read somewhere that the windshield wiper motor could be used to convert to a 3 speed, but I can’t find the reference.

IIRC, the rear trailing arms, especially the alloy Turbo ones, can be used for Type 1 disc brake conversions.

If it were me and I was already there, I'd harvest whatever I could. 944 924 values are rising. I'm pretty sure the rear glass hatches are NLA and / or $$$$$. If it has even a "decent" dash, it's worth grabbing. I saw an early 944 NOS dash that was close to $2000.

Yup that was me

The roof for hardtop conversion?

good point but depending on market most had the removeable near useless roof option,only one I have ever seen is my JDM 89 2.7 ,only bought this non compliant car for the motor only,it was a hardtop but often the JDM cars were budget spec so think it was a sunroof delete.?.

Yes but not all years had spacers.

Particularly the turbo SSS… alloy IIRC…

only the early Manual Roof, not the later electric ones

The 5 lug 944 front hubs (bearings, washers and locking nut) and rotors are 911 strut compatible (NOTE - may differ over model years). These items may be of value to anyone doing a 5 lug conversion. I think they even have "911" part numbers...?

I have these on my GT tribute car, courtesy pick'n'pull (though I did replace the bearings with new ones),

If the spare looks like this one I would be intetested.

356 guys pay for those.

So do us 912 guys!
I need a spare.

@'Retroracer
The hubs are not 911 parts. The offset is about 1/2 inch less than a 911 hub and requires a spacer and longer studs installed to prevent the tires from rubbing. That may vary with the wheel offset.

@bdstone914 - I didn't claim they were "bolt on"; as stated, they are compatible with the 911 strut. Any GT (or flared 914 variant) will likely run with spacers / longer studs anyway. There are also various offsets / depths to 911 hubs I believe.

The OP asked for parts worth salvaging for a 914 - I believe these parts may have value,

I agree. Also the thrust washers for the hubs are compatable with 911 hubs. I still have a bunch of the lock nuts as they are about $30 each new

Hi there, there is a space saver like that. I'll see what they're asking for a spare wheel and let you know likely price. Its numbered 911 361 022 11. Im not sure what postage etc would be.

This is the spare tyre no!Click to view attachment

^^^ Good one! 1985.5 on up dashes are no longer available and worth $$$.
Early dashes are being remade by Porsche Classic again, but are costly.

If it has Sport Seats, grab them regardless of condition.

Aux air regulator is the same as the 1.8 L-jet part… but who knows if it works

Thanks but I think that's a standard steelie.

Was too late getting back and the car has gone, but the space saver wheel is still there. It is steel construction but has a strange tire with two valves.

Not sure what the yard will ask for it, or how much shipping would be, but could buy it if anyone is interested!
