I'm in the process of repairing my 914-6 right long section.
I've purchased several items from RD for the repair. I also have the repo AA right long section which is similar to what RD sells. I looked over all the new sheet metal and the more I looked it over i started noticing differences between the org vs repo. I wanted an org replacement part for my 6 so I went on the hunt. Long story short the right long section is a hard part to come by. So now I'm looking for as much OE sheet metal as possible. A thread came up from another member who was repairing his 6 as well. ( http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...285296&st=0 ). He was going to source a right long section from Mittlemotors in Germany. I got a hold of Mittlemotors and have been working with the parts guy there about a right inner long. I was told a few weeks ago that they where out of stock but would place an order for a few more. The last email that I received was to update me that the part is being made. Once they receive the part I would receive an email with pics to confirm my order. The cost of the part will depend on the exchange rate and the shipping would be around 100 Euro to me. I'll keep updating as I receive more info on this. Attached image(s)

Luke is correct. We carry AA passenger side inner long. It does not have the correct impressions like the original.
The one from Hess is pretty nice. Aside from the fact that the depression for the ebrake is welded in after the part is stamped. I dont know why they are doing this, perhaps they were having trouble getting a nice part with that impression in the tooling to begin with. We do carry this part. |

I dont know why they are doing this, perhaps they were having trouble getting a nice part with that impression in the tooling to begin with. We do carry this part. The welded e-brake handle pocket I believe is an improvement in the design. We all know that area with the flex is fatigue prone to a crack over time. 1) The metal is not thinned nearly as much in the die stamping process if made in two parts . 2) Two pieces provide a termination point for fatigue. Whether intentional or not or simply ease of manufacture it works for me. |
