:( .

TBH, that's what I found: even on the pattern stuff. Time after time bits were higher priced and harder to get hold of than the 911 equivilent :( .

having said that, I still miss the little 914: I wouldn't be suprised if another one joins the fleet at some point :roll: .

...and still waiting for the windscreen frame seal :(
The one really annoying thing about my 914 is it was raped of all the weather seals by previous owner. Some of them I've never seen before

Most of the seals need replacing on mine. have you priced the rear seal for the roof. A £278 bargain :shock:

Forest fine good place to start here in UK

Else try some of the US suppliers who offer complete 914 seals - can't speak for quality tho.

Most of the usual places (forest, mittle, pelican,autoatlanta) were out of stock. I got these from good old Roger Bray.
Dannyboy the top seal is still available I think.

There is always the official parts dept, I got a lot of my stuff there, they gave me a 10% discount being in a car club at the time.
