Anybody know? Also, should '6s have them and/or the holes for them in the inner wings? I've never seen either of my cars in one piece so it's a bit difficult when it comes to things like this
it could be the vaccuum lines to and from the charcoal canister to burn fumes from the expansion tank i think. drivers side, right?
don't know about the -6's.

Very early cars did not have them. From late 1974 when the charcoal canister was relocated in the engine compartment, the line ran through the center tunnel.

Very early cars may not have had them, but all US-spec ones were supposed to... I got a call from a guy with an early 70 914-4 that had no cannister lines, and no evidence that there ever were any (no holes or anything). The COA from Porsche said that it had the cannister system, though.

That sounds right, there's a charcoal canister in the boxes of bits that came with the '4. All that stuff's strange to us over here, we've never really suffered from them
That would explain why the '6 (a 1970 European car) didn't have them

My US spec -6 had them... 1970.
Gint's had the front holes in the "wing" welded up. Looked to be factory as well.
