I thought I would just run a quick search to buy a rear deck lid support shock kit today, but no dice.
Is Camp 914 gone? Are the kits no longer? Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

In the mid '90s I spotted a 914 at the Pomona Swap with a home made rear trunk strut lift kit. Chatted with the owner and he allowed me take measurements + sketch it. He used the gas struts from a gen 1 VW Rabbit/GTI. I built my own kit here, and still working perfect 30 years now. Trick is not to build with Too strong of a gas strut>> it will lift too quickly like a catapult !
