Been tinkering with my project for the last couple of weeks now, and I finally have paint in the hell hole now. I was digging through my parts boxes and found this boot, and can not find where it came from. My 914 is a 73, and I have looked on my 76 and 72 parts cars and can not find this boot anywhere on them. I may not be looking in the right place. Any help on this one out there ?????

It kind of looks like the one for the alternator. I could be wrong though, it's happened before.

Not for the alternator .....

I asked an old girlfriend the very same thing once, "Whats this rubber thing for?"

She said " Put it on the longest thing you have." So I put it on my nose.

I don't think it's a wire chase...Save it.

What are the dimensions?

Hard to tell the size from the picture.

I guess dimensions would help! Length is 2 1/2" , O.D. is 1 3/4" , I.D. is 1" . The way that it is grooved on the bottom is making me thing that it goes through a panel, but I have yet to find a place for it .....

Bicycle handlebar ?

I don't know where it goes I just wanted to say HEY!

Is the top end a bit triangle shaped or D-shaped? If so, and if it bends more than it looks like from this pic, I would say that it is the alternator cooling boot.

Most of the rubber boots I recall from tearing up my 914 were curved...

--DD

Hey there Rick ....it has been a while !! How are things up north ?

Dave ....it is nearly perfectly round, and straight , just like the pic. I am really starting to think that is doesn't even go to a 914 !!

I hav epulled apart a couple 914's and I do not recognize it.
