Wesleyvr6 10 Posted August 6, 2017 What are those big plastic dash pieces underneath the steering column and passenger side at 5:10?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted August 6, 2017 If it's a US spec car it would have had knee bars fitted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wesleyvr6 10 Posted August 6, 2017 Excuse my ignorance but what the heck are knee bars? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted August 8, 2017 The things you see in the video! They didn't have under-dash trays, they had those kneebars. Presumably some US mandated thing for crash protection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted August 8, 2017 Yeah, as above - they were a safety/crash protection feature required by US regulations. Can be seen in this diagram: http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/USA/modell/COR/year/1994/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/857/subcategory/164000/part_id/3691849/lang/e Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billzeebub 1 Posted August 8, 2017 Really not a fan of the US editions, with the crazy electric seat-belts, indicator position-orange side reflectors etc. The American market used to butcher 70s/80s 911s with their bumper/crash protection rules.
