Mar 27 2011, 9:40 PM EDT
Hi ya all,i just purchased a known Porker 914 from the Forum creater, not exactly a normal transaction, but i bought it auction... its missing a few parts and im after info on the car itself and also wanting to know, what parts are avail from other VW stables for the 914.... 1st question, are the wiper arms unique to the 914, or do other VW porsche models fit? Dizzy cap, leads, rotor, plugs? are they avail over the counter at Repco ect? are they the came as bettle or type 3 ect? i know the 911 cap is the same as volvo 164.. Stupid question..... What is the shifter patten? where are the gear position located... Im new to porsche, but not new to classics.... my passion in the past has been the BMC stable and Volvo/Saab with the odd Yank muscle car thrown in.. Hope you can help me Regards Steve Do you find this valuable?

Gidday Steve, I was a bit like you 2 years ago when I purchased my 1974 914 from a Shannons auction. I have been talking with sic914 anthony whom is a fellow enthusiast in Sydney -really nice bloke whom has a lot of used spare parts. In general there are few spare parts available off the shelf in Australia. I have been bringing in new parts from Pelican Parts in California and Auto Atlanta in Georgia USA - the Aussie dollar is on par and if you buy under $1000 per transaction no duty is payable. They despatch within 10 days and even with the airfreight are cheaper than sourcing from Porsche outlets here.The shift pattern is hard over left and down to first, hard over and up for reverse, then 2,3, 4, & 5th in a "H" pattern. There is a Haynes manual available part 80025 and I have bought several publications to get up to speed - although still a **** mechanic with plenty of head knowledge! I have bought all the parts you mention from the USA including the wipers which are Bosch microedge 13 part 40713 Regards DAC 60 Denis.
