Numbers and dates are on the front of the hub. Behind the horn pad.

Same spline count but use a different rear plastic hub spacer and aren’t a perfect fit if you switch early for late or late for early. However the fit is acceptable. I don't want to mar or damage anything on his car, and my 914 has a Momo wheel, so I'm not familiar with old stock steering wheels. Can the horn pad be gently pried off with a flat screwdriver or is there a better way? |

Twist clockwise to re install. |

QUOTE(SirAndy @ May 24 2021, 12:41 PM) QUOTE(oakdalecurtis @ May 24 2021, 09:32 AM) Does everyone agree with Front Yard Mechanic, that, based on what you see and know at this stage, it's only worth 2k? That early rear bumper is 1k alone, if restored. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Not to mention the early snowplow rear valance. |
