I guess the quick way to figure out the oil line hook would be for me to measure someones six for both the hook dimensions and location. If anybody in the Denver area has a six available I would appreciate it...there is beer in your future. With a mask of course! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hi Lars,
The 6 looks good and coming along nicely. The hook gets welded by the left rear suspension reinforcement plate. On my 914-6 there's a 5 mm gap between the plate and the hook. Posted a few pics for you. Which trunk plug do you need? Is it the one on the trunk floor that turns and locks? I may have a spare if so. The hook is being made and sold by RD. Attached image(s) |

Thanks for the pics guys...why would the PO (or anybody) remove the "hook"?
Yes I think the front trunk circular plug is the one that turns and locks? I will look in my sons car tomorrow. |

So "restore2seater" graciously sent multiple pics and dimensions of his oil line hook
and I was able to fabricate the "hook". My new short term dilemma is sourcing the two drain plugs/plates for the front trunk. Per Porsche these are NLA so my only option is to harvest these from another chassis. My understanding is that once the old seam sealer is wire-brushed off...they can be tapped out easily. I will post in the classified section a WTB, but in the interim if anyone has these, please send me a PM. The picture is of my son's 72 1.7, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't want me to steal these from his car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Yes, the seam sealer (other than rust) is the only thing that secures them.

Oil line hook attachment question. In the first two pics of the green chassis, it looks like the hook is "butt" welded to the edge of the flange. In the second set of pics it looks like the hook lays over the flange and is welded at the base to the outside of the flange. Which is correct? I fire up the Lincoln in an hour (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That looks like it is spot welded to the inside of the flange? Not the outside?

Making sure my painter has all my "bits" and starting a pile of parts for refinishing. Curious about clear vs yellow zinc...my internal door latches are obviously yellow, but it looks as though my lid and trunk latches are clear? Which is correct? Sure would be easier if all the hardware was either clear or yellow. And in one of my boxes I ran across this parts which I cannot identify (looks like it was refinished yellow). On a 911 it reminds me of a bracket that supports the fresh air vent. Can someone id this for me please?
