I have been looking in the 914 parts book for the Part # of the rubber seal that is under the oil pressure sending unit and seals this area to the cooling tin. It looks like it would fit a type 4 VW van also. I just can't find it in the 914 parts manual. Any one have this number handy or a good method of getting it??? Thanks

Here you go.


021 119 957 PROTECTION CAPFOROIL PRESSURE SWITCH


Item 37 in the 914 PET.

Your SOL.

NLA from Porsche.

The E means NLA.

That's the number I thought it was when I call for it. But, the guy on the phone told me $0.88. I thought that was a hell of a deal from Porsche for something that size. But, if it's not availible I guess he could have said 10 for free!! Thanks Brad. I'll patch up th one I got.

For .88 buy one and see what they send you.

Its rare I even see these on cars still.

Yeah, that's what I did. I'm running a mallory distributer and with the extension for the pressure switch, it leaves a pretty good size hole. I should have welded up a patch before I sent the tin out to get powder coated. I have a friend with a plastic mold injection machine. He does his own molds. I could get him to make some, out of some heat resistant plastic but like you say nobody will pay to buy one. Hello silicon RTV. Thanks

I acquired one of these about a year ago from the Scoopbill...

Bus Boys has it for $3.00.

Holy Cow. Bus Boys is still around ?? Damn.. I recall when they dropped a VW bus from a huge crane during a VW event in SoCal back in the 80's.

WestCoast Metric makes that seal for the buses and type 4's. Go to VW sites to get it.
