I have seen a factory 914 GT hood and it looked like that complete with the wood. I thought it was balsa wood. Very light indeed. The 911R stuff looks real enough to me. I think there was a PN on the 914 lid. See any?

Question. These were moulded using a standard "bonnet" as a pattern? Is that why the holes are there for mounting a standard hood latch? I thought the "R" hoods were fastened with rubber tie downs? Will admit, I've never seen the underside of one before.

Can't wait to see the finished project. I thought the R bonnets (as the brits call them) had the center filled gas cap?

Andy, that hood looks just like the authentic 911R hood that Kent Douglas had - no center fill hole on that one either. Congratulations! Now don't punt it..Originally posted by yopurp

Perhaps the UK hasn't bin picked over as much as the USA has bin for rare P parts. It is always nice to find something rare and desirable. The key word here is desirable...
To keep on with the subject of rarity and desirability but in another field...and to prove how lucrative it can be...I talked with a man this week that had sold 3 rifles that he had collected over the last 20 years that have been PROVEN to be at the Battle of the Little Big Horn....They sold for over $1,000,000. He is in the process of publishing a book on the subject (2500 copies) and I would recommend buying the book as it will become bank just on it's own..
So boyz keep your eyes open U never know what your gona turn up.
