Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 20 2012, 01:28 AM
A great part to have if you need one. I was tapped to make these awhile ago, and there looked like there was some interest in doing these. I plan to make them from silicone of a soft enough durometer to allow them to stretch easily. The flanges will be slightly larger to allow for a tighter fit. So there will be some improvements, but look pretty stock. They should be easier to install than stock. I try to make most of my stuff as close to factory as possible where it makes sense, and I think factory had it right as one piece.

Mark,
I'll take one. I wanted to talk to you about a full rubber kit and a couple of other items. I'll get you and email before Xmas. Once I figure out what I need.
Thanks
Dave

Oh, I'm in for that. I looked all over hell to get a decent used one for my six. I'd rather have a new and improved piece.
Edit: I want two actually.

Can you make a version that is longer than stock for those of us with /6 conversions using aftermarket bulkhead motor mounts?
The stock ones usually rip to pieces when you try to stretch them to fit around the new mounts.
Posted by: Jeff Bowlsby Dec 20 2012, 02:55 PM
I'll buy these in qty also Mark for the chassis harnesses I repair and hope to build new, soon.

For these special applications, how about using two snorkels, cutting off one end of each and just nesting (overlapping) them? In addition to soapy water, glycerin is a great wire pulling lube.

I'm in for 1 and the alt grommet too..
Posted by: strawman Dec 20 2012, 06:46 PM
I am definitely in for one. Mine tore pretty badly when I reinstalled/removed/reinstalled it a few weeks ago... and it'll need to come out one more time soon!
Posted by: Tom_T Dec 20 2012, 08:43 PM
1 for me too please
Posted by: euro911 Dec 20 2012, 09:20 PM
Ooooh, yeah 
1 for me as well, please.
You can ship this with my (4) alternator grommets and (10) trunk drains

These will probably not all be ready at the same time, but I can combine and ship when you want.
Who knows, I may have a few other items comming out by then.

The cost to tool up for another version is the same as the 1st version, so the most cost effective way would be to use 2. The center section on one could be cut out, The other split. This would allow the center sections to be bunched up in the center, both ends installed and the center could be rolled over the ends. Additional glue could be added to seal. Should work well, and be easier to install than one long one.

Hey Mark
I'll take 2 please....
I think somewhere in all of this I am also down for 6 trunk drains and 4 alternator grommets.
Having said that....I also have to sort out an older order that we somehow haven't nailed down. Don't think I"ve been billed...and will need the parts, will try to get a better rundown to you before end of year.
Have a good one, and thanks
Paul

Posted by: gothspeed Dec 29 2012, 12:19 PM
I will take one snorkel and two alternator grommets
I am going to use it to run a parallel set of wires for my new gauges and front mounted fuel pump wiring ....... so I will have two snorkels .....
Posted by: 9146986 Dec 29 2012, 02:32 PM
Does the silicone more stretch than the original? I'm in on the group buy, and I appreciate Mark making these, but I sure to think that a split style is still the way to go. I want to see the 1st guy that pulls all the wires (with connectors) through one of these.

+1 ... I agree on the split style. I was thinking of buying an extra one then try and split it, then glue it back together. If that works it will be great, if not then it will be as good as the torn one I have now ...

Just make sure to lube the harness and everything will be fine. Wire pulling compound used in the electrical trade should work well in this application.
Posted by: RON S. Dec 29 2012, 05:04 PM
Posted on the wrong thread. 
Mark I'm in for 1 also...
You could ship me a couple of trunk drains on the order also...

Posted by: Pat Garvey Dec 29 2012, 05:12 PM
Mark,
I'm in for the snorkel and some alternator grommets, as well as the truck drain tubes.
Geez, I can't keep up with you!
Any chance for the early rain tray in the near future?

The silicone will stretch more, the idea is that it's better to not have to worry if the integrity of the glue or seam is compromised.
If you had a condom that was too small, would you prefer it to stretch more, or would you like to glue it?

The only ones that would have to be glued together are the ones that would be longer. The idea would be to use the center section from one to extend the legnth. It would be slathered in glue and rolled over the end pieces. It just will not pencil out to make the tooling in 2 diferent versions.

Just a follow up. The tooling is almost complete. I hope to have the fist sample part in about 10 days.

Yes, it's still open.
I started this some time ago, and it's taken longer than planned, but it will be in production pending the 1st part is acceptable shortly.
Posted by: Luke M Mar 25 2013, 08:35 AM
Hi Mike,
I'd be in for 2 of them in the group buy price.
Pm me with the details.

Posted by: Mikey914 Apr 4 2013, 08:56 AM
Just completed the 1st sample part. Kind of a pain to check fit, but I will be able to do so next week. Pending the fit check, these will go into production.
Also added some other items into the group buy arena so that they can be combined and save on shipping, so check those out, you may want to add.

Hi Mark, Can you tell us the ETA on these...I'll buy a few of them as soon as they are available.
Posted by: Mikey914 May 12 2013, 11:28 PM
Thanks guys,
about 8-10 days out. as soon as the run is about wrapped up, I'll be sending PM's to all. I just don't like holding your money while you wait. I also want to assure the other items are ready at the same time so you can get several other items that can ship with these so you can save on shipping.
I plan to start sending the PMs end of the week.
Thanks for waiting
-mark
Posted by: Mikey914 May 28 2013, 03:19 AM
Didn't want to send PM until product was in full production. I'll starts shipping Friday the GB will be open til June 16th.
Thanks to all for your support
Posted by: Mikey914 May 28 2013, 11:45 PM
Well, my guy worked over the weekend and I didn't even he planned to, so we got these done earlier than expected. Sometimes things go your way
Just the good news I needed today. Actually got a few shipped out today.
