914Rubber Front Trunk Pull Cable for Porsche 914 (1970-76)

At PMB Performance, we’ve teamed up with 914Rubber for nearly 20 years, stocking more of their SKUs than any other retailer. With two decades of Porsche 914 expertise, we know what keeps these cars thriving. The 914Rubber Front Trunk Pull Cable (Part No. 914424517) is built to restore smooth, reliable access to your 914’s front trunk, fitting all models from 1970-76 with precision.

This cable is no ordinary replacement. Constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it’s designed to handle the mechanical stress of repeated pulls without fraying or stretching. The outer sheath uses a reinforced, low-friction polymer that resists kinking and withstands the under-dash environment—think heat, dust, and the occasional bump from spirited driving. Unlike the brittle OEM cables prone to snapping after years of use, this one’s engineered for longevity, with a tensile strength exceeding 200 lbs and a flexible yet durable design that maintains smooth operation.

Installation requires attention to detail. Route the cable through the original firewall grommet and ensure proper alignment to avoid binding. Lubricate the pivot points at the latch mechanism with a light silicone-based grease to reduce wear. Check the trunk latch for corrosion or misalignment before fitting, as these can strain the cable over time. This part is a direct fit for all 914 variants (1.7L, 1.8L, 2.0L, and 914/6), with a length calibrated to factory specs for seamless integration.

Why trust PMB and 914Rubber? Our hands-on experience with 914 restorations, track builds, and daily drivers means we get the nuances of these cars. We don’t just sell parts—we know how they perform in the real world.
