I have an early '73 2.0 with a build date 12/72.

I believe my 914 should have the molded hard foam under the carpet in the passenger side footwell at the bulkhead. I'm exploring the idea of putting a small subwoofer in that piece of foam. When I pull the carpet back in the footwell it's just the metal firewall. There's no foam there.

Maybe it was removed at some point?

In a parts lot I bought a while back, there was piece of hard molded foam that I assumed was for the footwell. However, when I pull the carpet back and try to put the foam there it does not seem to fit that space.

Do I need to remove the speaker unit in that footwell and/or the center console to get this piece of foam in that space? Is that why it's not wanting to fit?

Or do I have the wrong year foam?

Is something else the issue?

There is an early and a late version. I have both but I'm not sure which is which. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

The 75 & 76 had a big cut-out on backside for a mileage counter for the cat converter to indicate service intervals. it was connected to a 2 part speedometer cable
