Is this center vent held in place with screws from below or does it snap in? I didn't want to force it so I ask. I don't want to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) with that damned air box either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
EDIT: DUH, What was I thinking. Here it is. |

Looks like a great part for 914Rubber to make!
Perhaps even an "improved" model that snaps into place from above? If so, count me in for one! |

To add the center vent you need the air duct with the port for the air to the center vent. The one in the picture is for sale. I also have the air duct to go with it. Bruce |

Please post a picture. I'm curious to see what this looks like in the car. I'm almost certain that my 72 does not have it. Thanks, Konrad |

Here's an old pic from my build showing the vent.

Picture added to original post. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) And it looks as if I might need to remove tha damned air box. I'd rather take an ass whupping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) BTW, I don't understand why they deleted it. It produces a mighty blast of air. I can Fart with more force than the side defrosters on my 914's.

Although ugly in the center of the dash top, that center defroster in the early cars really helps. Porsche designers should have redesigned a better looking piece and kept it. I've only seen them on 70-71 4's.

Probably a step the production line manager(s) decided to eliminate, for the same reason you'd want to take that ass whuppin' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

Just remove it, make a cover plate and put new vinyl on? Are you planning to provide some sort of H2O heat?

Isn't that a Subaru part? Subaru recommends you use a 36 inch pipe wrench for removal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

For what it’s worth, that little vent works great when combined with a 12v hairdryer in a heat deleted 914. Cheers
