Thats kind of cool. Change from the original black and white ones. If I didnt have new ones already, I would ask for a set colored to match my car.

Is that by any chance Malaga red?

Bruce, How do you recommend mounting the front clips? Rivets or nuts and bolts? I ask because the fronts in my car were originally mounted with large rivets.

Nuts-n-Bolts work fine, I have a set of B's roof thingys in my car... ONLY THING THAT WORKS!

I galnced at the picture quickly and thought they were candies (you know, like swedish fish or gummi bears) and thought what the heck is he talking about???


How much for the dandy, candy-like colors ('colours', for Miles)?

I need a set of rear rubber holders too....

I think that is more French than British. But I dont speak French and I knew what he meant. Miles was up late and just looking to make some fun.

If they were rivited in someone replaced the bolts. There should be:

For the rears: 1- M6 X 35 bolt, 1- M6 nut and 2- A6 washers

Fronts: 2- M6 X 12 and 2- A6 washers

If the front nuts are missing you might have to get a slightly longer bolt to replace the stock bolt and add some nuts.


The official names for these parts are : Front- Bearing Bracket, Rear (isn't so techinal sounding)- Support for roof.

As to which colours (colors for Miles) are available :
Red, Black, Brown, Orange, Yellow, Green, Violet and Blue.

These are made with a dye which is added to the material when it is mixed and I can make them as dark or light as possible. I can't guarantee they will be exactly what someone wants, but I can try to make them as close as possible. Cost:add $2 per bracket and a picture of the colour from http://homepage.mac.com/markd/914/colors.html would be helpful.

Before anyone asks, yellow ones are faster.

Actually, sometime in 1974 I think they started riveting. PITA

Posted by: GWN7 Dec 16 2004, 03:52 PM

I didn't know that. All my cars are 74 and earlier.

I would probably try to eat those. So do you have the front ones ready for sale yet? I just got my wife a 914 so I will be needing another rear set and two front sets. Great job!

Posted by: GWN7 Dec 16 2004, 04:06 PM
