I have this NOS front latch panel here. It is unique in that it has an extra lip on the front.
I also have an NOS from clip that I know is from a 70-71 car as it has the unique impressions from that MY. I have checked my boneyard where I have MY 72, 73, 74. None of these cars has this front lip. It also has five little square impressions when looking face on. So I'm trying to determine what year this lip came on cars, and its actually function. I'm thinking that it could have started in 1975? Can anyone confirm this and also its function? Thanks, Pete    |

how can it be late but yet not have the bumper shock holes like the late but rather have the bumper bolt holes for the 70-74 bumpers?

QUOTE(mb911 @ Apr 6 2023, 05:54 AM)  how can it be late but yet not have the bumper shock holes like the late but rather have the bumper bolt holes for the 70-74 bumpers? Porsche did weird things like this all the time. A generic part that would fit all MY with a little bit of modification. Here is a sneak preview of what is happening. I am still a ways out from having it ready, but this is what is coming down the pipeline for 914's Pete  |
