Yes we have some more parts that we have noticed many were painted over or just completely missing. Official announcement tomorrow!!!

My credit card can't wait!

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 15 2017, 11:05 AM

This one won't make much of a dent. But I'd bet at least 50% of the 914 owners don't know they are missing or they are even there / not there.

Funny, the other day I was puzzling over how to replace one of those when later the same day, I pulled open a little organizer bin draw where I threw miscellaneous doo-dads and found two exact replicas of that stuff. Funny thing is that I have no clue where they came from except that it had nothing to do with Porsches. Just one of those lucky things I guess. piratenanner.gif

The duckbills on the body drains under the car?

These get all crusty then won't open, then bits of leaves get backed up and rot your car out..

Better to just pull them out and leave the holes open, just don't try to drive through deep puddles....

Actually going to be 2 announcements as we just finished and got another new tool running today. One is no big surprise. The other is a wow didn't know those existed (at least for many).

Gonna post up in the morning with a few other carry overs for those that may have missed them.

Posted by: 76-914 Jun 16 2017, 12:20 PM

Mark, are these made from silicon like your dash and roll bar plugs? I really liked your silicon plugs more than the OEM plastic ones. A free plug, no pun intended! beerchug.gif

Posted by: Steve Jun 16 2017, 12:25 PM

What about the bumper top spacers? I couldn't find them on the web site

Posted by: sbsix Jun 16 2017, 12:40 PM

I discovered mine were missing a couple of years ago and found 6 used ones at EASY from a wrecked 914. But to get fresh new ones is a treat. Thanks Mark!

Made like the OEM so they can take paint. Different tool, it's a plastic injection tool or I could just pull in silicone. Sorry

I had to clean the ski rack holes with a tap. (Just a bit of rust). I made the blocks (rather crudely) from some aluminum I had laying around. I got some Yakima bike rack parts to finish it. Here's a pic with the bike on the rack taken at the 2005 WCC. Twelve years and twenty pounds ago. laugh.gif

Made these from the same compound factory did. Took a little research, but there is a reason they used what they did. Should last a long time. I understand why the others have had issues with their reproduction of this part. Took a little longer but worth the wait.

Vacuum stack elbow listed yet? I can't find it.

This is their brand-new $25 reproduction BTW.

Aaaaahhh WTF?????


Yes!

This is the technology we were using 8 years ago. Hand casting in silicone molds. It will make the shape but is limited. There are also techniques you can use to eliminate most of the bubbles, but it does cost a little more and required equipment to do it.

Blake should have these up later this morning. I'm in training and he was off the last 2 days, but yes I'll make sure he gets these up on the site today and post a link (with a few more pictures too).

I got one of those too. I keep it as a reminder to never buy anything from them again. What a piece of shit! The fact that you would put that on your shelves and then sell it to someone blows me away.

Mikey yours looks amazing!!
