Like a lot of people, I've been looking around for a comprehensive list of all the common/standard hardware so I can replace a lot of it with new parts before I reassemble my car. The consensus in various threads is that there is no such list — so I decided to make one.
My day-job is dealing with metadata, so putting together a relational database for tracking parts and creating a bill of materials was pretty trivial. So far I've got roughly 270 parts with around 700 uses catalogued; however, I have discovered in this process that the freely available pdf PET diagrams/lists contain a number of errors/mismatches, significant inconsistencies, and a few exceedingly vague descriptions. I've been able to cross-reference many of the VW-supplied parts (those beginning with the N- prefix) with other VW parts lists I found on The Samba, but there are many I haven't been able to find there. Is anyone with a printed 914 Spare Parts Catalogue willing to scan it to PDF and upload it here? Or willing to look up a bunch of parts for me to get the full descriptions? (maybe @914Sixer or @68911l , who I saw may have traded a catalogue?) In particular, I am looking for DIN numbers for the VW parts and information regarding whether they are galvanized/plated/etc. (these details for standard parts are already encoded in the Porsche number system, so no problem there). Once I've got all the obvious errors sorted out, I will output an organized parts list with full counts for each piece and upload it here... |

I think it’s great what you are doing.
Don’t get rid of the old hardware. Some of it is not easy to find. I clean mine up, send it out for plating and then supplement with orders from belmetric and the Porsche dealer. Auto Atlanta sells a hardware kit. It doesn’t have suspension hardware but is useful for interior hardware and some other small bits. |
