Tunnel picture needed...

Peter Zimmermann · 10-06-2010, 12:26 PM

Model; 1974 914 1.8. If anyone out there could post a photo of the top of the center tunnel, between the seats, with the carpet/storage box removed it would be of great help to me. My car has had a couple of small sections of rear floor replaced (under the seats), and when the work was done (I assume) the wire harness was damaged. There is also a strange looking "dip" in the top of the tunnel (it looks like the tunnel was cut open, and then the cut section was pushed down into the tunnel and re-welded), and the fuel lines run under that. I need to verify that the tunnel is the original shape, and I need to know what the wire harness looks like so I get it right when I repair it. Thanks in advance!

Will this help? I'll keep looking for more.

What you mention sounds like it may be stock. There is a cross-member and the wiring harness does get threaded underneath it.

Sorry, no pics at the moment.

Thanks guys. Yes, the recessed section is between the cross member and the firewall, and appears to be the trough for the harness. It just looked crude enough that I was wondering if a PO had gotten in there with a welding torch and started to do something, and then decided not to!

Paul, the area in question is under the black bracket/support on your center tunnel.
