Would the plastic vent cap inside the door jam (above the striker) be a good new part for Mark? I have been unsuccessful locating any new ones of these.

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 2 2015, 01:33 PM

Can be done. I noticed the ones I have have some cracks. Could easily do the "air filter" part too.
Only a matter of demand.

Posted by: SirAndy Dec 2 2015, 01:44 PM

I'll take 2 sets please ...

Posted by: dudzy's914 Dec 2 2015, 01:49 PM

I have needed these! Anyone selling them want a fortune for them

Posted by: Dion Dec 2 2015, 01:54 PM

I'm in for a pair.

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 2 2015, 01:54 PM

I can't see the part itself being that expensive, just need to spread the tooling cost out. My guestimate $12 a pop ish.

Posted by: BeatNavy Dec 2 2015, 01:55 PM

Thanks Mark. I will definitely take 2. Not because I really need them or even know what purpose they're supposed to serve. But because every now and then it's nice to receive something from 914Rubber that takes 10 seconds to install and get the satisfaction of having done something to improve your teener that day, however trivial.

Small, quick wins, baby.

Posted by: clapeza Dec 2 2015, 04:21 PM

Yes, please!! I'm in for a pair.

That is great news Mark,

How many pairs do we need to get the $12 price?

Posted by: dudzy's914 Dec 2 2015, 05:56 PM

AA wants $55 for just ONE

Posted by: JoeD Dec 2 2015, 06:50 PM

Mine are brittle and oversprayed. I'll take a pair for sure if you do them Mark!

Posted by: RobW Dec 2 2015, 06:52 PM

I'll take 2 sets. Why not?

Posted by: type2man Dec 2 2015, 07:32 PM

Yes!

Posted by: db9146 Dec 2 2015, 07:37 PM

1 pair please...

Posted by: Zimms Dec 2 2015, 07:39 PM

I am in for 4

Posted by: rmdinmd Dec 2 2015, 08:24 PM

a set for me too

Posted by: wndsnd Dec 2 2015, 09:13 PM

I demand a pair ...

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 2 2015, 11:20 PM

Well looks like this thing may have some legs. I can start the process to get it rolling next week. It's about 6-8 weeks. To even be close to breakeven I need to sell over 100 pairs, but I do believe these should be made looking at the 4 cars I have I found only one good part. so there's 7 I personally need.

As you all know, I don't just do this for the money, and in the long run I think these will pencil out.

So, who else needs them?

Posted by: bigkensteele Dec 2 2015, 11:35 PM

I can send you a set and buy a set.

Posted by: pete000 Dec 2 2015, 11:50 PM

I think there is demand for anything made of plastic or rubber on a 914 !

Posted by: restore2seater Dec 2 2015, 11:56 PM

I'm in for a set.

Posted by: turk22 Dec 3 2015, 07:18 PM

I'd take a set!

Posted by: StratPlayer Dec 3 2015, 07:55 PM

1 set here..

Posted by: Rob-O Dec 3 2015, 11:35 PM

I'm in for one set. Unless URO hijacks this thread to tell us about their part and how it's cheaper and available now. In which case I'll take two sets from 914Rubber.

And just in case you missed my sarcasm, URO doesn't make this part...

Posted by: bperry Dec 4 2015, 12:08 AM

I would take a set.

Posted by: porschetub Dec 4 2015, 01:19 AM

Yes why? do they fall out and get lost ,break and fall apart.....whatever we need them for what they do or don't do .

Posted by: jeffzm Dec 4 2015, 08:26 AM

Funny this is a thread now. I was just checking how bad that piece looked cracked and overs prayed.

I am in for a pair.

Posted by: GermermanCarGuy Dec 4 2015, 08:46 AM

I'd take a pair.

Posted by: barebrad Dec 4 2015, 08:48 AM

I'm in for a set as well...

Posted by: bozo914 Dec 4 2015, 09:09 AM

A pair for me

Posted by: Sleepin Dec 4 2015, 10:35 AM

Couldn't this one be 3D printed?

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 4 2015, 10:57 AM

Yes, but the quality of the part will not be as good as the molded part, and price would be the same or more.

Posted by: Sleepin Dec 4 2015, 11:09 AM

Cool, you are the expert Mark! Just an idea seems it is a non-moving part.

Posted by: worn Dec 4 2015, 11:27 AM

You know that Mark guy cannot be trusted to slow down your project. I had a little glitch, informed him, and suddenly I am getting shipping notices with many covering emails! See, the thing is that it is possible that I will complete my build in January or February. If so it would be Mark's fault . Brad Meyer hasn't helped delay things either - he sent something before right away. So even 914ltd is in on the conspiracy. I could blame others as well.

Why is this a problem? The roads will be so covered with salt and slush and ice I won't be able to see if it works till months later!

Those world vendors...are pretty great.

Posted by: jor Dec 4 2015, 11:33 AM

Dumb question by newbie: what's the purpose of these plastic grates? They seem too cagey to act like a filter and mine were constantly falling out until I just removed them and stored them in the glovebox. Did I just highjack a thread?

Posted by: Sleepin Dec 4 2015, 11:49 AM

jor, they vent the cabin pressure when you close the door.

Posted by: jor Dec 4 2015, 11:52 AM

Thanks!

Posted by: ntmatter Dec 4 2015, 04:00 PM

Ditto. This almost seems like something that could be 3D Printed?

Posted by: Chaznaster Dec 4 2015, 04:13 PM

I am in for a pair, too ...

Posted by: 71914-4 Dec 4 2015, 05:57 PM

I need a pair as well.

Posted by: Lucky9146 Dec 4 2015, 07:35 PM

Funny never looked at this part. One is good the other is toast I will need just one.
Thanks!

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 4 2015, 10:23 PM

Again, could be printed, but the quality of the part would not be as good. Most of the cost is in the tooling and going long on it. It will be a better part, and finish will be like OEM. Price will be less over the long run.

Posted by: RAX 914 Dec 5 2015, 01:39 AM

I'd be in for a set!

Posted by: Ian Stott Dec 5 2015, 05:41 AM

I will take a set, mine had a piece of sponge in there, what was that for?

Put me down for three sets. Old ones look very poor when reinstalled over fresh paint.

Thank you

Posted by: JamesM Dec 6 2015, 12:53 PM

thats normal, it keeps dirt out


These are at the least cracked in just about every car i come across. I could use a couple sets.

Posted by: messix Dec 6 2015, 01:43 PM

1 set for me

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 6 2015, 08:31 PM

I plan to make the filters too, so those that don't need the part can just get the filter too.

Posted by: Tom_T Jan 2 2016, 02:07 PM

I'll do 2 with the foam filters, & probably combine with some other bits I'll need.

Have fun polishing your mold!

My 1970 didn't have any in it

Just curious

Posted by: Harpo Jan 3 2016, 11:40 AM

Posted by: Jett Jan 17 2016, 01:18 PM

Mark count me in for three sets. Do you have the filter as well?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 17 2016, 02:25 PM

Yes these will come with new filters too!

Posted by: Chris Pincetich Jan 17 2016, 10:13 PM

Once the rain stops I will go outside to the 914 to check if I need this part too

Posted by: olsib914 Jan 17 2016, 10:19 PM

The fit is good and I'm quite happy with the molds producing consistently good product, so I'm starting production now they should go pretty fast, and will be ready to start shipping next week. Filters will be done this next week too. Here's what we got right now.

I feel lucky- I saw them on the website before the PM, so I already ordered mine yesterday, along with a bunch of other stuff.

Mark, would you just make it easier for us all by adding a "One-Of-Everything" button to your site...

Tap your shoes together and say there's no place like 914rubber.com, there's no place like 914rubber.com. Then look under group buys on there web site and order some.

Posted by: wes Feb 4 2016, 02:08 PM

Received mine and they look perfect, thanks Mark.

Posted by: g60pops Feb 5 2016, 03:06 AM

Ordered a pair and a few other bits last night. Thanks for making all the goodies!

Edit- also sent you a pm regarding an additional purchase to my order.

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 5 2016, 05:43 PM

Thanks All,

Just a note, I actually am not doing most of the shipping myself, but have 2 shipping assistants Blake and Rob. If you do want to add something best way is to place the second order as close as you can to the 1st and note to please combine. We will automatically combine if we notice 2 orders, but with 2 guys shipping it is possible that it could be missed. That and or call the shop at 855-814 guys. They may not pick up all the time but do lave a message as they do work thir way through the messages.

Mark

Posted by: Mblizzard Feb 10 2016, 07:00 PM

Got mine. Perfect fit and flawless part. Well worth the small cost.

Posted by: Rob-O Feb 10 2016, 09:21 PM

Got mine last week, they look great and fit perfectly. Isn't it a pleasure when you get something from 914Rubber and it looks like it should, feels like it should, fits like it should and performs like it should? I think that's what I like most of all about 914Rubber. There is no heartache associated with receiving parts from them. You get parts, you install them, you move on a little happier in life.
