This comprehensive kit includes key components for smooth headlight operation: two metal pushrods (914.750.185.10), four pivot washers (914.750.187.10), four bearing sleeves (914.750.189.10), four adjuster blocks (914.631.901.10), six eyebrow grommets (914.750.197.10), one brush set with clamps (914.750.182.11), two 2-hole outer pivot backing plates (914.750.167.10), two 3-hole inner pivot backing plates (914.750.168.10), and black headlight surrounds (914.750.225.11/226.11). One kit is required per car, 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. Tailored for early models with metal pushrods, this kit contrasts with later 1973-76 plastic pushrod systems, offering robust durability, as noted on 914rubber.com. Components are made from high-strength plastic, UV-resistant rubber, and corrosion-resistant steel, withstanding front trunk moisture and temperatures up to 160°F, ensuring reliable 12V headlight function.
Worn components can cause headlights to stick, misalign, or fail, reducing visibility and impacting the 914’s 1,980-lb chassis aesthetics. Installation requires disconnecting the headlight motor for safety, with parts bolting or pressing into the headlight bucket, per 914rubber.com’s tribal knowledge wiki. Pair with the 914.612.197.10 wiring grommets and 914.631.108.00 connectors for a full refresh. Regular lubrication of pivot points enhances longevity.
