Well 46 people looked at alert and took advantage. Probably did not have that many to start with. They are $12.98 IF you look under Porsche 914, lol.

I placed an order on Monday from RockAuto for 8 tubes @ 2.78 and will be here TODAY!

Too good a price to pass up on.

I ordered some also and received them yesterday.

The walls are much more thin than the originals or the ones made by Dansk I believe. The finish is bare metal.

You always get what you pay for in the end. So for those that missed out, you didn't miss much.

Posted by: 914Sixer Aug 5 2021, 06:38 AM

Thin walls, better heat dissipation, quicker oil cooling, lol

Funny how that holds true, "you get what you pay for" and nothing is ever "free"

I have four sets of original ones that were replated and have Viton o-ringd installed. $60 a set shipped.

Mine are here and look fine. sure a little thinner or lighter but will work as needed. Will paint to match

Are those the very thin aluminum ones? I got a set of those on the FAT engine I had rebuilt over the winter (I had told FAT to use the cheapest tubes they could find, as I was going to replace them with http://www.tangerineracing.com/pushrodtubes.htm anyway).

They were so thin, I pretty much could not get them out easily without damaging them. But they worked fine...

Posted by: 914Sixer Aug 6 2021, 10:53 AM

They are steel.

Posted by: GregAmy Aug 6 2021, 01:59 PM

Those could have been steel...they were so thin and fragile I ASSumed they were aluminum (did not magnet-test them)...

I just had about a dozen sets powder coated, they came out nice.
