It is the stock six washer pump. Same one used on the 911 of the period. Easy to find, reproductions now available.

While I love Fuchs on 914s, and 15x6s are one of my favorites (great proportions), it's been bugging me that these aren't "correct" for a 914-6. So I've been debating going with 14" Fuchs or something different, but still correct for a 914-6. These arrived today... -Steve Did you happen to buy the Mahle wheels from a guy on Samba? He buys +sells over there...he bought our wheels last month. Marty |

> Lucky the calipers survived. Yup, and you'll probably see them in a box shortly; I just need to get my parts list organized. I'm curious, why do you say lucky? Sure they all get fugly with age, but with normal use/storage they don't often fail or become unrestorable, right? I guess I was just expecting to pull them off with issue. -Steve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

I'd like a shot at those Fuchs if you decide to sell them. Great car, great project!
