We know of two docmented original 914s, both have side valances attached with plastic buttonhead rivets, not aluminum rivets.
Black rivets for cars with black valances Clear rivets for the 1974 LE cars with the yellow or orange valances PET also only lists the plastic button head rivets. All the photos of 914s with aluminum rivets are not original, are commonly available and have been replaced at some point. Thanks to George Hussey, Steve Gaglione (2nd owner of very orignal Sahara Beige) and Alberto Favilla (original owner) and to Rich Daunhauer (914Werke) for their knowledge.

I have used aluminum with success and I'm sure over time they will fail but is it a big deal?
Mcmaster Carr has plastic rivets, but not 1/8", does anyone have a source for a 1/8" plastic (pop rivet)? |
