914Rubber Front Trunk Pull Cable and Guide Tube Kit for Porsche 914 and 914-6 (1970-76)
Ensure smooth front trunk operation on your Porsche 914 or 914-6 with the 914Rubber Front Trunk Pull Cable and Guide Tube Kit, designed for all 1970-76 models. PMB Performance, with 20 years of Porsche 914 restoration expertise, has partnered with 914Rubber for nearly two decades to deliver premium parts. As the leading 914Rubber retailer, we sell more SKUs than anyone, providing high-quality components like this kit, built to OEM standards.
This kit includes a reproduction wire pull cable (Part #914.511.091.10) and a guide tube (Part #914.511.231.10), essential for reliable front hood latch operation. The cable, constructed from galvanized steel with a tensile strength of 1,200 MPa, features a threaded end stud for direct installation into existing hardware. The guide tube, made from durable polyethylene, replaces brittle or cracked originals, preventing cable flex that can make the trunk difficult to open. One kit is required per car, compatible with all 914 and 914-6 models. Note: Some early 914s used a slightly longer cable; verify length (approximately 1,200 mm) before ordering.
Why this kit? Over time, original cables corrode or fray, and guide tubes crack, leading to stiff or failed trunk releases. This 914Rubber kit restores smooth, reliable operation, reducing pull effort by up to 20% compared to worn components. We’ve installed this kit on countless 914s, from daily drivers to show cars, and it’s a must for trunk mechanism refreshes. A customer shared, “My ’72 914’s front trunk pops open effortlessly now—no more tugging!” Installation is straightforward: remove the old cable and tube (access via the front trunk and latch assembly), thread the new cable through the guide tube, and secure the stud to the latch (torque to 5 Nm). Lubricate the cable with silicone grease for optimal performance. Refer to PET diagram 803-00 for guidance.
