914Rubber 20mm Positive Battery Cable Grommet for Porsche 914 (1970-76) and Volkswagen
Protect your Porsche 914 or Volkswagen’s electrical system with the 914Rubber 20mm Positive Battery Cable Grommet (part number 914.611.031.00), designed for all 914 models (1970-76) and select VW applications with Type 4 engines. This reproduction conical grommet seals the positive battery cable where it passes through the engine tin, preventing chafing, electrical shorts, and exposure to moisture in the 914’s mid-engine bay. Only one is required per car, ensuring a secure 12V system for the 1.7L, 1.8L, or 2.0L engines.
PMB Performance, with over 20 years of Porsche 914 expertise, has partnered with 914Rubber for nearly two decades, selling more 914Rubber SKUs than any other retailer. Crafted from high-temperature silicone, this grommet withstands engine bay heat up to 220°F and resists oil and fuel vapors, unlike factory rubber that cracks over time. Its 20mm outer diameter fits precisely into the engine tin’s sheet metal opening, while the inner channel grips the 6mm positive cable tightly, maintaining a weather-tight seal.
The positive battery cable, running from the battery to the starter, is critical for reliable engine starts and electrical function. A worn or missing grommet risks cable insulation wear, leading to voltage drops or dangerous shorts that can fry the 914’s fuse box or VW’s wiring loom. This 914Rubber grommet installs easily, threading the cable through its conical shape for a snug fit, and is compatible with VW models like the Bus or Vanagon with similar engine tin setups.
