914Rubber 3 Hole Inner Headlight Pivot Backing Plate for Porsche 914 (1970-76)
Reinforce your Porsche 914’s headlight assembly with the 914Rubber 3 Hole Inner Headlight Pivot Backing Plate (part number 914.750.168.10), designed for all 914 models from 1970-76. This reproduction steel backing plate mounts to the inner side of the headlight pivot bracket, stabilizing the pivot bushing and ensuring smooth headlight operation. Two plates are required per car—one per headlight—compatible with 1.7L, 1.8L, 2.0L, and 914/6 models.
PMB Performance, with over 20 years of Porsche 914 expertise, has partnered with 914Rubber for nearly two decades, stocking more 914Rubber SKUs than any other retailer. Crafted from corrosion-resistant steel, this plate withstands front trunk moisture and temperatures up to 160°F, unlike factory plates prone to rust or deformation. Its three-hole design aligns precisely with the 914.750.165.10 pivot bushing and 914.750.189.10 bearing sleeve, securing the 914’s 12V headlight system for reliable performance.
A degraded or missing backing plate can lead to headlight misalignment or pivot binding, reducing visibility and affecting the aesthetics of the 914’s 1,980-lb chassis. Installation is straightforward, bolting to the headlight bucket as outlined in 914rubber.com’s tribal knowledge wiki, and pairs with the 914.750.167.10 two-hole outer plate and 914.631.901.10 adjuster block set for a comprehensive refresh. Regular maintenance checks ensure pivot integrity.
