QUOTE(MoveQik @ Sep 19 2007, 03:38 PM)  Ignition key location? Yes, indeed. The ignition switch is on the dash to the left of the steering column for '70 & '71 sixes. Unless you own a rare '72 six with the switch back on the column. Don |

QUOTE(davep @ Aug 24 2007, 08:44 PM) The north american cars have the VIN on a plate in the front windshield. The 914/6 numbers are recessed into the plate while the 914/4 numbers are raised. This is so interesting! Very logical too. Never picked that out before! This thread may be "oh, yeah, I know that" to sixers, but me, a "fourer", it is a very good education! Thanks guys & keep it coming! Pat |

QUOTE(1970 Neun vierzehn @ Jul 23 2007, 04:40 PM) QUOTE(Johny Blackstain @ Jul 23 2007, 03:27 PM) antenna = radio? What kind if I may ask? It appears that most early 914s, /4 or /6, had a radio/antenna installed by the dealer. I can't remember seing an original early car that didn't have a Hirschman antenna, if one was installed. I'd imagine that the P+A dealer would be more likely to put a Blaupunkt or Becker radio in a /6, as opposed to the dealer installed Motorola that came in my /4. Paul My 1970 914-6 as no radio therefor no antenna no holes for it and the dash weave thingy is one solid piece from the colume too the glove box (no seams).One hole for the lighter and a square hole for the heater controls. I heard that was rare??(IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

Didn't see that anyone had yet mentioned the fact the that Fours have the "hub-centric" rotor, with the integrated hub/rotor assembly. Hopefully I've got that terminology correct...
Quick aside ~ I'm looking for a thread similar to this, but one that compares the differences of the Sixes across the '70-'72 model years. Does one exist? thanks |

Try RoadGlue. There is a lot of historical info. And a list of known -6s.

QUOTE(Lavanaut @ Jun 10 2008, 12:02 PM) Didn't see that anyone had yet mentioned the fact the that Fours have the "hub-centric" rotor, with the integrated hub/rotor assembly. The front suspension in the 914/6 is substantially different from the 914/4. The 911T donated the front suspension for the 914/6. The 914/4 used a strut design that was somewhat similar, but the brakes were VW411, the A-arms & torsion bars used a different spline count, and the steering rack was very similar. Ball joints and tierod ends were 911. The 914/4 rotor (VW411) combined the hub and bearings. There were three versions of the rotor: early and mid were not hub-centric, the last one was. Mid and late had a different offset from the early version; this matched the changes to the front strut, ball joint & calipers in very late 1972 MY. Late calipers had two bleed screws and thicker pads. The thicker pads required the rotor to be set out a little farther. The introduction of hub-centric required modifications to many rims as well. |

Engine lid had smaller diameter (lighter) torsion springs since no drip tray. Rare to get Factory installed radio/antenna on 70's (1 of mine has it). Although it has been said that a Heated/Tinted rear window did not exist. Mine has it.

QUOTE whats HUB-centric rotor A rotor with a circular ridge to center the front wheel. Later model 911 rears have this on the hub as well. QUOTE did all 914have the vinyl sail panels No. I'd be willing to bet 90% or more came with the vinyl but LE's and others came without. Vinyl was considered an option but... again, almost all cars came with it (statistically). |
