Hello - I have a new (to me) 914 race car that was made from at least 3 parts cars - and Now I am trying to buy parts and need help..... The body - no a- pillars no windshield ---- front pass fender has a welded plate for the cage over the vin --- no bumpers and holes drilled all over the front area --- I destroyed a firewall shift bushing that I bought (did the hot water and all) and now I think it could be for the wrong car year.
-- How to ID the body year ???? pass side floor has seat hinges , if that helps. I also need help with front end id, how to tell if the front susp is early or late ??? and calipers ??? ------ the rear trailing arms, how to Id early from late --- I have the calipers off the car -- I got 4 trailing arms and 2 complete front susp -- with the car , but need to id them to buy spare parts.... is there a good place to see pixs??? I have searched sites and googled but never come up with what I need ----- __________________ |

73-74, there are obvious dog bone holes and no large holes where the bumper shox would be. The bushing you destroyed trying to place was likely for a 70-72 as it will be larger ID and OD than the later style. It will not fit. The ID should be way to big for your shift shaft, and this is an easy check for you. Hinged seats started in 73.

Hinged seats started in 73. 1) Looks like the holes for the shocks 2) Looks like the lip for the late bumpers 3) I zoomed in, and it sure didn't look like the dog-bone holes were there. |
