What size are these things? I just need four of them so I don't want to order a full set (which is how they are being sold by the various 914 vendors).

M6 x about 15mm. I replaced mine with socket-head screws (e.g., Allen screws) because the only screwdriver I found that fits the stock screws correctly is about two feet long and is hard to get to a lot of screws unless the engine is out of the car. Don't forget that one of the screws near the centerline of the case is actually an M8 one. --DD I understand that the M numbers are a size measurement, but how do you measure? I have a pile of engine tin screws that I lumped all together thinking they were the same size. Thanks! Konrad |

This is taken from the DIN (Deutsches Industrie fuer Normung). When you see a metric bolt listed as M6 X 12 for instance, it means that the diameter is 6 mm and it is 12 mm in length. Hope this helps. Mack Griffith |
