What is special about this jam nut for the accelerator cable? 914-423-287-00
The PDF parts catalog describes it as "hexagon nut", and only lists it under the 914-6 models and it doesn't appear to be used anywhere else on the car. I've of course searched the interwebs. It is NLA and I can't find any photos of it. I assume they gave it a unique part number for a reason... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  |

I doubt its anything special, I think its just used to lock the sheath to the bracket on the transmission, basically a sandwich. I don't have the stock bracket, but one from Rich Johnson and its the same as the other one on the other side of the bracket. Curious to see if there's actually a need for a separate part number.

914-6, 1970 - all stock and original
I am getting ready to put the engine back in and I recalled a component that I thought was interesting - here it is:  essentially a wide nut with 1/2 of the nut HEX and the other half is round. |

Good memory! Thanks for sharing. I think that is called a shoulder nut? If you have an opportunity, can you share the dims on the nut? * Size across the flats (ATF)? * Overall length * I assume the inside is M6? |

Here is the information about this 'fancy' nut, I seem to remember seeing these before, perhaps this is a standard part?    |

I assume it is 10mm ATF? Can you tell if it is a lock nut or there is anything else "special" about it? I am perplexed, and getting a bit nuts about this nut. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/head_hurts_kr.gif) I will add this to the parts vault if you don't mind me reposting your images. |

I did a lot of searching for Porsche, VW, and generic parts. Couldn't find anything identical. This Tall Fixture Nut from BelMetric is the closest approximation I could find. It appears to be 1mm taller than your original. I guess one could turn down the hex on half of it to get the collar.
