I seem to remember that there was a spacer on the hold-down bolt to take up excess length, about the size of a cylinder head nut,,,,,then again I could be dreaming :eek:

Don..
There should not be any blocks of wood or other material under the tire.
I have seen two lengths of bolts and there may be more.
Also the head of the bolt has some different designs.
One was a "butterfly" like and the other one is the bolt shaft bent over making a loop.
They used similar bolts for 911/944 etc.
Also the old stock tires 14/15 in had larger side wall section widths and would be "taller" laying on the trunk floor.
This would have taken up some of the spacing.
Below is a pic of the two types I have on the shelf...

Looks like mine is missing a washer and a clip.
I believe the spare tire is the original to the car.
Thanks

This is the size bolt you need.

Looks like someone at Classic Motorsports bought a 914-6...
“A pristine 914-6, for years was a $75k purchase. Now they’re $120k.”
Really?
I think not.
If so, my Tangerine car is officially for sale.
I'm a driver/car handler for the RM Sotheby's auction at PEC in ATL this weekend.
Let me know over PM if you want specific pictures of the cars and I can try to accommodate.
They are at minimum worth as much as a very good 911T
So $103,000 is reasonable.
Now one that is dialed in properly with more power and good brakes maybe a bit more.
I totally agree Mark.
My car has a 2.2S spec engine built on the original case and is a HOOT to drive.
