PMB Performance, with 20 years of Porsche 914 expertise, is the top 914Rubber retailer, selling more SKUs than anyone. Our nearly two-decade partnership with 914Rubber ensures premium restoration parts. The 914Rubber Early Hood Spring Set (Part #91451116310) is a new reproduction for early Porsche 914 models (1970-72, including 914/6), designed to support the front trunk with factory-correct tension.

These springs are shorter with slightly lower tension than the later versions (post-1973), faithfully replicating the originals for concours accuracy. Coated in durable black enamel spray (unlike the dipped OEM finish), they resist rust and ensure longevity. One set is required per car and fits all 914 model years, though specifically tailored for pre-1973 cars. For late models, see 914Rubber’s Late Hood Spring Set. Pair with 914Rubber’s Front Trunk Seal (Part #91451190110) for a complete refresh.

Installation requires a screwdriver, pliers, and a lint-free cloth. Disconnect the old springs from the front trunk hinges, clean the mounting points, and attach the new springs, ensuring proper hook alignment. A 914 owner said, “These early springs fit my ’71 perfectly—trunk pops like new!” Take care to avoid overstretching during installation to maintain tension.

Our 20-year 914Rubber partnership guarantees quality and support.
