I see them both ways, on high quality, low-mile, original 914s.
Which is correct and original? This first car is George's 10K mile 1974 car. Attached image(s)

from my best knowledge, these should be bright orange
I'll check out some marketing brochures to see if I could find a photo where you can see them new ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Gustl |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Gustl I am inclined to think they are bright orange too but find little evidence. The 1973-74 brochures are euro cars...different receivers. Only one photo in a 1975 brochure shows it as orange. If they are to be orange, then they must fade pretty easily for even the best 914s to have them fade. This from 1973 brochure: Attached image(s)

This from 1973 brochure: Jeff - that neon orange fades pretty quickly for some reason. As a kid I made a plywood skim board & painted it neon orange, which faded to almost white within a year or two of use in the sun on the beach. The 73 brochure pic may be the same seatbealt receiver as USA (same round silver plunger), but without the "press" label installed - i.e.: just the black plastic inner button of the assy. showing. IIRC they went to the retractable belts for 73 MY, so maybe they shot this pic before the interior design was finalized. I suggest this, because this same brochure also shows the center console OT gauge with numbers/ticks instead of the final wide red band OT gauge face, as below -   (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
