1972-only 914 unique features. Options

[JeffBowlsby]

The 1972 model year 914 has some unique, anomalous features or parts not present on other model years. 1972 seems to be a transitional year for our cars.

Because of their rarity, some of these parts may be hard to find and potentially valuable to the right 914 owner, similar to 912E parts.

post a photo or describe those features or parts here.

My '72 's do not have the reservoir level wires.

But, what I'm finding is "early vs late" wiring diagrams show different hook ups at the light switch as well as how the fog light switch interacts with the high/low combo relay. My current '72 project has attributes of both early and late. For instance:

- I have three wires in a single connector (an obvious factory crimp) that plug into pin 56 on the light switch (RD/wh,Bk/bl, & GY) like the late cars.

- Pin K of the light switch shares it's single Gray wire with a factory supplied loop over to pin 58b like the early cars.

- Also, I have two WH/bl wires at the input side of fuse #1 like the late cars and one of them (white with the blue dots) is going there from the Fog relay. Early cars only have one Wh/bl at the fuse and the other would piggy-backing off the White high-beam wire at the Combo relay.

So the '72 can be a real mish-mash.
