Hi jimbo409!

Welcome to the 914 family! There's a great guide over here about what to look for when buying a 914.

We have many parts available for the 914. Use the search bar at the top of the page and you will find what you need.

Also we have a great resource called "914 World"
It's filled with how-to articles, diagrams, and all sorts of info to help you out.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

The Haynes 914 manual (currently NLA from Pelican, may be available from other sources) contains about 85% of the actual words and images from the Factory manuals. Definitely worth having if you're going to do any work on the car yourself.

For a book about what would have originally been where, this one is good: Brett Johnson's Authenticity Guide

The relay board in the engine bay hangs off the left side wall. There are a couple of brackets that stick out from it, and the relay board attaches to both of them.


Here is a picture of the relay board installed in the car, without the cover on it. The side wall of the engine bay is toward the bottom of the photo, the front wall is toward the left of the photo. The camera is looking down into the engine bay.
