- Original was about options for replacement for the NLA R bumper tow hole plugs.....updated 3-24-12

AA & IIRC Mikey914/914Rubber & maybe some other online vendors are producing & carrying aftermarket repro rear bumper tow hook hole plugs in both chrome (plasti-chrome) & black.

There are also the chromed, polished nickel, polished SS, etc. metal plugs available at the FLAPS, Home DIYs, etc. which can be used as a substitute for non-CW 914s.

They do offer free samples. I've used these guys several times. FYI. Cheers.


Sorry - I missed that in your first post - damn these eyes! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I didn't see any chromed plugs under the color options which I'd checked (all black) - do you know if they carry anything in shiny SS, aluminum, etc. for those of us with the chrome bumpers?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

- since the new chrome plugs are NLA & "free" there is even better than the "pay for" option at Pep Boys from SoCalAndy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanx! .... you're a wealth of info Mr. "Wind" !! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Pardon me for raining on the parade...... which you all know I'm good at.

Tom, your plug should be "plated" plastic, and they ARE available from numerous dismantlers.

The metal plugs, though a better product, will stand out like a zit on your sisters nose. If you're after a proper resto of your "S", search for (& be patient - took me six years to find a proper snowplow rear valence for my 72) the proper plug. You'll find it. May even want to talk to George (AA). He probably has a stash of them.

Do not accept substitutes.....unless you don't care.

A question about the rear on a 1974. The car I bought has a painted metal front bumper but a (big, ugly) rubber rear bumper. It was built in 11/73 according to the tag on the door jamb. Is this a correct configuration or was my car back-halfed at some point?

Thanks,

David T

A pic or two would help, but it sounds like you have a combo of pre-75 bumper on the front & post-74 on the rear. They are NOT interchangeable! I'd check to make sure your car hasn't had a later rear clip put on it.

I'm new to here and excited to learn lots more, although I've been learning slowly since acquiring my first 914 seven years ago.

My black 1973 2.0 (originally sold in Kansas, but extensively restored in the UK before my time) had a chrome rear bumper but the front bit that is normally chrome was body coloured black gloss. I'd always assumed this was standard but reading here wonder if it was actually a modification. I attach a picture of the front and back

Thanks for any tips

Richard

Wow Tom. Thanks very much. I should have asked about this ages ago. Yes you're right, all that spec about the interior is what the car is, leather wheel, console etc.
The car had a serious prang at the front before my ownership, so I can see now that the black bumper was perhaps a cheaper option than finding a chrome one. The grills around the fog lights are both metal not plastic.

(The sad thing is now this car is scrap, as I pranged the front myself, but I've kept the wreck and have acquired a 1972 black one which has been modified to be 2.0l. Given that change, and that it's been quite heavily restored inside my plan is to evolve it into something a little closer to a 1973 2.0 and so before I commence on the restoration I want to get the spec correct. The new car has a chrome front bumper with tell tail holes of where the tits would have once fitted, which I'll probably leave incomplete I think but would have filled and painted had it been factory spec, as I quite liked the black front end look and the chrome's not in perfect shape).

Thanks for advice about the wheels. I need advice about these, and will ask that in the correct thread

(The photos were taken by Lake Maggiore (front) and Lake Garda ferry (rear)! I'm reminiscing about about my travels!

Yes I saved the 193 2L, all be it the insurance company charged me a lot for it, but it'll gradually be picked at for bits to go on the new one, bits to save for wear and tear and bits to sell. It's a sad day, the car had original paperwork from it's sale. But it's been written off twice now, and it'll not be reborn again

I noticed on cleaning the bumper, that the original finish on the back is the same paint that is used on the steel wheels. so, although it is a 1974 chrome appearance group bumper, they painted the back side with the silver/white finish.

Agree, though years may have dulled it some.

Does anyone have a photo of a dealer-installed front license plate mount for a chrome bumper car? I have the mounting holes but have no idea what the bracket looks like and it is required in California.
