914Rubber Dog Bone Rubber Bumper Space for Early Porsche 914 (1970-74)
Perfect the bumper alignment on your early Porsche 914 with the 914Rubber Dog Bone Rubber Bumper Spacer (part number 914.505.027.10), designed for 914 models from 1970-74 with steel bumpers. This reproduction rubber spacer, nicknamed “dog bone” for its shape, isolates the front and rear bumpers from the chassis, maintaining consistent gaps and absorbing vibrations. Four spacers are required per car—two per bumper—for 1.7L, 1.8L, 2.0L, or 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. Unlike the factory’s metal-reinforced spacers, this solid rubber design, as noted on 914rubber.com, eliminates the need for additional metal inserts, simplifying installation while matching OE durability. Crafted from high-grade, UV-resistant rubber, it withstands the 914’s underbody conditions—moisture, road salt, and temperatures up to 180°F near the exhaust—resisting cracking or compression over time.
The dog bone spacer mounts between the bumper brackets and chassis, ensuring even spacing critical for the 914’s 1,980-lb frame, which experiences dynamic loads during cornering. A worn or missing spacer can cause bumper misalignment, leading to uneven gaps, paint chipping, or stress on the 914.503.023.10/914.503.027.10 bumper mouldings. Installation is straightforward, using factory bolts, but requires precise alignment, as advised in 914Rubber’s fitment notes. Pair with the 914.559.116.10 top stud spacers for a complete bumper refresh.
