914Rubber Door Handle Repair Kit for Porsche 914 and 914-6 (1970-76)
Fix your Porsche 914 or 914-6’s exterior door handles with the 914Rubber Door Handle Repair Kit, compatible with all 1970-76 models. PMB Performance, with 20 years of Porsche 914 restoration expertise, has partnered with 914Rubber for nearly two decades to deliver top-quality parts. As the leading 914Rubber retailer, we sell more SKUs than anyone, ensuring you get precision-crafted components like this repair kit, built to OEM standards.
This kit (Part #914.531.900.00, component-based) includes two large and two small door handle gaskets, two door lock bushings, and two door cam actuators—one kit per car. The gaskets, made from EPDM rubber with a 70 Shore A hardness, restore a watertight seal, preventing leaks. The bushings, crafted from durable nylon 11 with a tensile strength of 60 MPa, replace worn originals to ensure smooth lock cylinder operation. The cam actuators, molded from high-impact plastic, address common failure points like broken tabs or rounded screw holes, eliminating the “locked” feel when opening doors. This kit fixes most handle issues without requiring costly full handle replacements.
Why this kit? 914 door handles often fail at the cam actuator or mounting tabs, causing stiff operation or failure to open (Pelican Parts notes four common failure points: tabs, screw holes, and plastic cams). This 914Rubber kit restores smooth, reliable handle function, saving time and expense compared to rekeying or replacing handles. We’ve used it in countless 914 restorations, from daily drivers to concours cars, and it’s a go-to for door repairs. A customer shared, “My ’73 914’s doors open like new—no more fighting the handle!” Installation requires removing the door panel (see Pelican Parts’ Door Stay Article) and handle (4.5mm hex bolt, torque to 5 Nm; outer nut, torque to 6 Nm). Inspect the handle for tab damage; if intact, this kit is sufficient. Lubricate bushings with silicone grease for longevity.
