Looking for help if anyone makes these OEM Windshield Sticker's?
Are they different for every model year? Many years ago while restoring my 914 I used a solvent to clean up the windshield glass & destroyed the letters. I would like one for my OEM original windshield (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) This is off as recent 1976 in a local shop for repairs in this photo. Tom Michigan Attached thumbnail(s) |

@vitamin914
i'm just looking at your certificate and date of car. so yours is a 1.8? as far as we can work out cars in that date band of nov 73 to end of jan 74 are all 1.8s so there maybe is something there. like maybe that batch of 1.8s that first are done from late oct 73 to some cut off point all got sigla screens. my 1.8 is late jan 74 build. we might be on to something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ah the mysteries of the 914. pretty funny. EDIT with that production date it could also be one of the last of the first batch of 2.0s that were done in 74 model year. its around that time they move into making the 1.8s which were late to get the 1.8 engine supply which does not happen until Nov 73. |

I was always under the assumption it was a 2.0... It was removed and reworked into a Weber carbed 2.4 L displacement by a California engine builder. This is the way I purchased it from the PO. I will look at the paperwork to see if there is any mention the original displacement. The badge on the back says 2.0 but that is meaningless because it has been repainted. I will go around and take some photos of the tempered trademarks. I just turned 9 years old when the car was built, but I do remember it was the start of the oil embargo crisis and there were all sorts of issues getting building materials as my parents were having a home built. Could it be there were issues getting glass from one supplier and another, Sigla was brought in? It would be odd to have two different OEM glass makers tool up for the same part. Or Kinonglas didn't have the capacity for peak production of the 914? I wonder what was in the 75 and 76s? |
