I've had a few people ash about the non fog light grills. I can make these pencil out if we can do 100 sets. So I'm looking for 50 sets price point will be a little higher as these will not move as fast as the ones with the fog lights.

Looking at $88 a set fro the GB price. I will make these if I can get 50 takers (sets).


I don't think there is enough demand, but maybe I'm wrong.

Seems like there is a OEM with some issues on Ebay fro $299 for one side

So maybe it's worth doing.

I'll let a friend here with an original albert blue 6. His came that way- I always figured all the 6's had fog lights! Asked him about that but he bought it new and said it came that way. He's kept it in original looking condition though it has been restored.

I'll take a set. I'd also be interested in a set of mounting screws and clip nuts, if possible.

I need one set.

Just wondering if these might allow for two small oil coolers for those of us who will be running a six and don't want to cut into their front trunk???

Getting a bit OT but:
That'd be cool (no pun intended) but there's not really anywhere for the air to go if you mount a cooler behind the grill. That said, I was down at Elephant racing and was checking out their 914 oil cooler line kit (super nice but not cheap):

But just pumping the oil through the lines and back would probably cause a significant temp drop so maybe a custom set of little coolers could work...?

PMB Performance had hard lines for oil cooling at a better price than elephant but I cannot find them on E’s site now. Also I want to point out that the factory set up used in my 70 911s was a simple set of U bends in the front fender behind the lights for the extra cooling set up.
My 6 had the oil cooler up front with air coming in through the 2 non-fog lamps metal grills, exiting through the floor in a 916 like set up as far as a exit hole in the floor.

Brant's race car, exits out the inner fender.







See no cutting of the front trunk

Do a search, I know a member did just that and claimed it worked good. Likely will be about a 10 year old thread.

And no headlights either!

Brant's car is a beauty with some great work.

I'd be interested in a set.

Thanks,

I just bought a used set from a member here.
I would be up for a new set.
Black and chrome?

Posted by: Mikey914 Apr 26 2017, 01:19 PM

Of course black and chrome would both be available.

I will take a set

Posted by: dlkawashima Apr 28 2017, 09:41 AM

+1 set for me.

Posted by: CMONNETT Apr 28 2017, 10:12 AM

I need a set also

Posted by: stevend914 Apr 29 2017, 10:53 AM

I've thought of doing the same, but haven't seriously looked in to it yet.

Posted by: C-Ya MK Apr 29 2017, 01:40 PM

I would be interested in a black set.

The non fog light grills work with fig lights. I did that on a customers car I help restore. They actually protect the lights somewhat.

Posted by: Mikey914 May 1 2017, 07:43 PM

So far some interest. Not quite there yet, but could be possible. Need a few more takers.

Posted by: SHREK914 May 1 2017, 07:48 PM

I'm in for one set, possibly 2

Posted by: C-Ya MK Jun 29 2017, 08:07 PM

Any update on these?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 29 2017, 11:51 PM

Trying to get the master cylinders finished right now and going through a surprise upgrade cycle at the day job. Bid for an airplane I didn't think I had the seniority to hold and actually got it! I'm in training til the end of July, but tasked Matt and Blake to help be complete them and keep all the projects moving. Not quite as fast as we had hoped, but the good news is I will have more money for tooling!
