O boy. We get a good insult thread going and Jenny jumps in and starts talking about kisses. Is it any wonder I can't concentrate?

Posted by: skline Jan 27 2005, 06:06 PM

The only drawback is the insult got deleted by the insultee. Aaron? How dare you delete my posts!! Just for that, I will beat your best time at the AX in Riverside. Then you will be buying lunch.

WTF? Is AAron using his admin privileges to alter the thread? What gives?

What's the point of having admin power if you can't abuse it?

Posted by: skline Jan 27 2005, 06:15 PM

You wuss, it simply stated facts, the little pieces of rubber hold them on and Jen said they look like little kisses. I just phrased it a little differently is all. Dont be deleting my threads unless you want to keep this all strictly tech talk, in which case, you need to take out about 85% of your posts.

Posted by: Jenny Jan 27 2005, 06:15 PM

Sorry Aaron, I'm just jealous of your administrative powers.

Hi Daniel

dont use a nut and bolt... the are rubber mounted for a reason lets say your are changing the bulbs and some one shuts the lights off, your fingers are stuck but not broken if the rubber is there, if bolted can we say broken fingers and bent metal. the bent metal even applies if a stick gets thrown up off the road and sits there till you close em.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Jan 27 2005, 06:17 PM

im down with that scott kline . thats why i deleted my post too.

Doesn't the shalom lose by default when it is push-powered?

The POs hose idea is better than a nut and bolt. If something gets stuck in the headlight and you try to close it, something's got to give. Better the little rubber plugs than sheet metal or (God forbid) fingers.

Posted by: SGB Jan 27 2005, 06:51 PM

Does anyone make these (the rubber kisses- hey that sounds pretty scarey!)? I think the PO did what they could....
Y'know there are some pretty talented fabricators & such on this forum. Maybe someone will try to make these....

Posted by: Kerrys914 Jan 27 2005, 06:53 PM

The parts car I bought had the eyebrows welded, both sides. I guess it made one big 914 Uni-brow

But his is the same guy that used a 30amp house breaker for a car stereo fuse

with his agreement ...

the headlight will scrape the flesh right off your fingers, down to the bone.
the rubber pluggs are in there so the "eyebrown" will move and your little fingers stay safe.
the rubber hose is definately better than bolts. if you insist on the stock parts, just get some of the little rubber thingies used from another club-member or from the usual parts places ...

Found a part number for you.

914 750 197 10 (6 required)

Might be available at dealers? PP and AA both list them. So it's not NLA (pardon the double negative.)

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jan 27 2005, 07:02 PM

I was thinking the rubber hose was pretty smart for a quick fix. Get the originals if you can though.

That's flipping hilarious.
Sorry for laughing Aaron, it is MattR's fault with his editing wizardry.

Got mine from Performance Products. Part #905457 @$2.95 each. Think they were only a buck when I got mine, inflation. PP might be higher priced than others, but I usually get next day delivery without the headaches, crap I've gotten from other suppliers. The lack of headaches is worth it to me. Customer service counts.

The eyebrow grommets are available new. I recently purchased some from AA.

Used ones should be easy to find also. I have several used ones left over. Let me know if you need them.

Posted by: ematulac Jan 28 2005, 03:44 PM

My eyebrows have the rubber grommets, but one tends to move and get in the way of the motion of the headlamp. Last week it got caught under the headlamp as it was closing, and the fuse popped.

So now I'm wondering, will new grommets help to keep the eyebrow in place?

thanks doug...but i think imma just go with the nut n bolt idea...and when i do work on my headlights i'll just remove the eyebrow to prevent and dismemberment of fingers
