You may have already heard this. Go look at the radiator
louvers sold by HighwingLLC. They work and should the cable brake, fail open.

I tell ya men,
I have this 914 sitting here. I paid cash. It came in one box, BUT
it came without the means to drain the carburettor boxes hanging below. I've
tried to find out what fuelworthy line fits the drain nipple below each box
- since it appears it may tinkle itty bits of fuel down onto the exhaust,
creating an unwanted source of energy.
I have two techinicians and a manufacturer's secretary reading
emails in an attempt to find out:
(a) why it isn't in the parts box, or
(b) where I can find the proper thing once they find out what it
is...........
During my wonderment interval, if you have a suggestion which
doesn't involve impossible manoeuvres of my body, I would be pleased to read
it.........
Cheers, Ferg

Fergus,
> it came without the means to drain the carburettor boxes hanging below.....
Not sure to clearly see, but would you happen to be talking of the drain
nipples at the bottom of each carb drip pan ?
Our engine was the previous model with the drip pan attached to the carb
flange (not to the airbox).
We attached a small fuel hose to the nipple and routed it away from the
exhaust, to the right of the engine, along with the airbox drains and
oil breather.

If we are talking of the fuel drain lines, any reasonably heat-resistant
fuel hose will do. Route it away from the exhaust and turbo. Some
shielding may be necessary.
Best regards,
