Hallo
I just get my 74 911 out of the container here in Aruba and like to order some Upgrades at Pelican but i saw for example by the Steering wheels there are 2 different Adapters
Porsche Hub Adapter
911 (Up to 7/74)
Porsche Hub Adapter
911, 911 Carrera, Turbo (8/74-89)

The Serial number of my car is 9114300444 Modell911534 Year 1974 Body 911 S Coupe
the Car was delivered on October 6, 1974 in Texas at Bob Miller Porsche
My Question is wich one i have to order the one up to 7/74 or the after 8/74 one ?

Thanks for some help

Kasi,

I would communicate with Pelican Parts. That date (7/74 – 8/74) seems strange to me. I would have put the change as between the '72-’73 E-model and ’74 F-model in the late summer/fall of ’73.

Best,
Grady

Hi Kasi,

Grady informed me about your question. It does appear to be a typo in our catalog. BUT, just in case, please view the image in this thread to verify:

Steering wheel hub spotters guide

You will notice that the earlier steering hubs have the turn signal return prong cast into the hub, while the later models have it as a removable piece that is also part of the horn contact.

I hope that helps!

Hi Eugene

Thanks again

Kasi & Eugene,

I’m glad you guys can work out the right set of parts. It is best to make sure of the issues before international shipping.

Best,
Grady

I've never seen that color.... Is that original? What's the paint code?

Nice looking car!

On the Original Dealer Sales Order it is Olive Green I have to check on the code .
By the way it was sold November 74 in Texas from Bob Miller Porsche in Austin the car has only 34000 miles on it and was from one owner it looks and drives like new after a Big Tune up at German Auto Kraft in Wichita Falls, the Owner Lazlo Papp is a fantastic Porsche Guy and was Working for Porsche in Germany before he get's to the US he does all of my Classic cars before i send them to me to Aruba and allways does a great Job .

Kasi--I've read some of your posts on this website for many months now...just didn't know for sure who you were. It's good to see this Porsche again....I work with Laszlo at German Autokraft and did most of the work on this car before it left WF for Aruba (of course, under Laz's watchful eye). Hope the car is still performing well for you...although I have a Porsche of my own, I always enjoyed taking a test trip in your '74.

P.S. I did most of the work on your Alfa as well....will be sorry to see it leave the shop. Please keep sending us more cars.....I enjoy working on these older models.
