Need 914 Microfiche Manual set

[PeteD]

Well, I finally found myself a microfiche reader and now Pelican is out of the 914 microfiche manuals....

Anyone out there have a set or a source for me?

Thanks,

These are no longer manufactured by Porsche! Try to find a used copy before they get really rare...

You also may want to check out the Porsche PET CD. I got mine on EBAY for 40 bucks. It has parts diagrams for all models/years, and is easy to use, you just need a PC with A CDROM drive

The Porsche PET CD requires a monitor and video card that will support 1280 X 768 resolution to be able to see the full page and navigate. Otherwise, you would have to print each page to be able to see it all.

try ebay, someone had some on there earlier. Search for Porsche 914. If it has gone by you may be able to search for it by going to the advanced options and then searching for past items.

Is the microfiche item being discussed here actually the set of manuals (8 binders) on microfiche, or is it just the parts?

sorry, just the parts

The microfiche I have is the Workshop Manual for the 914-914/6. Suspect my fiche are copies as photos are not that great when printed (Yes, I have a mf printer).

I also have the original parts microfiche (needs a special VW reader) and PET CD, which is parts only (needs requirements in my previous post).

Well, the reason it matters to me is: If you race SCCA Improved Touring, you must have in your possession a copy of the factory service manual. It must be presented on demand. You are responsible for documenting the legality of the car's specs, not the tech guys. No problem with my Sentra, I found a copy of the single volumn Nissan manual. I have it, along with both the Haynes and Clymer manuals in a box with all the rest of the race gear. Always ready when Tech demands to see the book. Never happened, but still ready.

The 914 seems to be a beast of another multi-volumn color. What is the total count of binders, 10 or so? I am expected to lug around 10 binders awaiting the call from tech. Right!

The SCCA GCR does not specify format for the manual. Fiche or CD would be fine for me. Not my fault the tech shed is lacking a fiche reader. Most paddocks can scare up at least one laptop with a CD drive, so that seems to be no problem.

Anyway, the fiche or CD format manual seemed to be exactly what I need. Now to find one. But a parts department listing won't be adequate.
