Many of you know I've been working on this for some time however recent events have forced me to speed this up a little. These are in process and we are still at least 6 weeks out. your chance to replace that cracked roll bar pad.

Rob I know you're in who else is interested?

Nope still in the tooling process. wish we were a little further along, but wanted to let all know we were committed, and see who's in.

I'm interested....

Posted by: mb911 Nov 21 2017, 02:41 PM

I will need one but not sure if I am ready just yet.

Posted by: davehg Nov 21 2017, 02:57 PM

I'd be in for 1

Posted by: Dion Nov 21 2017, 04:07 PM

Oh yes! Definitely in.

Posted by: 76-914 Nov 21 2017, 04:58 PM

I'm in for one. Maybe 2!

Posted by: mb911 Nov 21 2017, 05:28 PM

Mark is this the front and back or the back and sides?

Posted by: e_artiles Nov 21 2017, 05:31 PM

I'm in for one!

Posted by: Philip W. Nov 21 2017, 05:35 PM

i'm in!

Posted by: RoadGlue Nov 21 2017, 05:42 PM

Yes, I think so. I can't commit 100% until I know the new motor is up and running in a few weeks.

Posted by: e_artiles Nov 21 2017, 05:58 PM

Excuse me for going off thread, but are you planning to do the lower dash pad in the future Mark?

Posted by: Mblizzard Nov 21 2017, 06:09 PM

1 for me!

Posted by: Mikey914 Nov 21 2017, 06:39 PM

On the radar. there are 2 versions, probably would do the late 1st. I do have samples of both.

Posted by: Mikey914 Nov 21 2017, 06:41 PM

Very easy to recover. Hate to say it but you can also recover an existing one with some sanding and filling of the cracks. Not that I wouldn't mind selling you one.

Posted by: Mikey914 Nov 21 2017, 06:43 PM

This is the main top piece. Most of the sides are in decent shape, but we could do those too.
Mark

Posted by: mb911 Nov 21 2017, 06:47 PM

I need to get a pet so I know what part numbers are..

I will definitely be in..

Posted by: davehg Nov 21 2017, 06:55 PM

I’d be thrilled if you would reproduce the sides. In fact, all of the pieces, including dash cap and lower dash, plus front sides. Restoring an early car.

Posted by: CMONNETT Nov 21 2017, 08:16 PM

I'd be in for one, maybe two.

Posted by: mepstein Nov 21 2017, 08:27 PM

It’s pretty easy to find the A & B pillar pads in good shape. Almost all the targa pads that Mark is reproducing either have a crack at the screw holes, wear on the corners or both.

Posted by: whitetwinturbo Nov 21 2017, 10:43 PM

One for me

Posted by: turnaround89 Nov 21 2017, 11:15 PM

I'm in for 1.

Posted by: Larmo63 Nov 21 2017, 11:18 PM

I'll be in for one.

Posted by: MoveQik Nov 21 2017, 11:20 PM

In. I've been missing mine for years because it was so beat up.

Posted by: funk Nov 21 2017, 11:31 PM

no doubt I will buy one!Im in for one thanks

Posted by: don-6 Nov 21 2017, 11:49 PM

I am interested in one

Posted by: djway Nov 22 2017, 12:42 AM

One maybe two

Posted by: ConeDodger Nov 22 2017, 01:12 AM

Well, I’m sort of interested... not sure I can commit though.

Posted by: Mikey914 Nov 22 2017, 01:53 AM

Yes Rob,
You are the one that has been actually the driving force on this. The tool itself is about 50% done there are some technical issues we are addressing, but we will be able to make these relatively inexpensively, and here in the US.

Posted by: mepstein Nov 22 2017, 07:52 AM

I’m happy to wait for when this part is ready. I just sent in spring tuition for both my college kids so it’s not like I’m flush with cash at the moment. 914rubber never disappoints.

Posted by: Mr. Olympic Blue 2 You Nov 22 2017, 10:36 AM

100% committed for 1 as I'm sure your "texture" will be as good as OEM.
The dash you did was amazing- looking at the other companies pics of their roll bar pad I'm not convinced of the OEM look you seem to nail.

Cliff notes: I'm in, worth waiting for an exact oem finish.

Thanks Mark!

Posted by: 914Sixer Nov 22 2017, 10:56 AM

Down for one.

Posted by: FL 000 Nov 22 2017, 12:23 PM

I'm down for one - thanks

Posted by: Kansas 914 Nov 22 2017, 01:02 PM

I am in for one - thanks for doing this!

Posted by: SKL1 Nov 22 2017, 01:13 PM

One for sure, probably two...

Posted by: 914-300Hemi Nov 22 2017, 01:31 PM

I am most likely in for one.

Posted by: sfrenck Nov 22 2017, 06:09 PM

Curse you 914rubber!! Just when I thought I didn't need to buy anything more from you.

I'll be looking hard at this once you get the product ready for primetime.

Posted by: ConeDodger Nov 22 2017, 06:41 PM

Seriously, very excited these are on the horizon. Mark and Matt could practically write a book about the obstacles they’ve had to leap to produce this part. It even involves a factory fire!
I’m sure you’ll be very glad to put these on the shelf and equally sure they’ll exceed expectations as usual.

Posted by: raynekat Nov 23 2017, 12:19 AM

I'll likely take one.

Posted by: rmdinmd Nov 23 2017, 06:23 AM

in for one

Posted by: JoeD Nov 23 2017, 08:37 AM

I am interested as well.

Posted by: cary Nov 23 2017, 11:07 AM

I'm in for a set for my DD.

Posted by: clapeza Nov 23 2017, 11:23 AM

Mark,

The way you're supporting this community is phenomenal!

If you posted an April Fool's listing for a Body in White, I'd probably have my credit card number entered before I noticed the date! (and I'd probably still hit "Send" just to be sure!!)

I even checked the website last night at midnight to see if you'd started the Black Friday sale 24 hours early.

Posted by: 9won4 Nov 23 2017, 11:54 AM

Please count me in! Thank you!

Posted by: green914 Nov 23 2017, 12:03 PM

Sign me up for one.

Posted by: eric914 Nov 24 2017, 10:29 AM

I'm in for one.

Posted by: 914dave Nov 24 2017, 10:47 AM

I'll take one for sure! It's such a visible part when the roof is off. Both of my ends are crap and the center is starting to peel up.

Posted by: moorepower Nov 24 2017, 11:53 AM

I need one!

Posted by: Mowog4 Nov 24 2017, 01:58 PM

I want one

Posted by: brownaar Nov 24 2017, 03:58 PM

One for me. Had to look at mine today and see the big crack in the middle.

Posted by: domer914 Nov 24 2017, 08:16 PM

I'm in for one!

Posted by: mb911 Nov 25 2017, 07:35 AM

Time to ebay my old one.. Gotta figure out how to safely remove the metal surrounds for the top hold downs.. Any tricks?

Posted by: 75914-L20C Nov 25 2017, 09:46 AM

Thanks Mark! Put me down for one.

Any plans to do the pad at the front under/inside of the targa top?

Posted by: Mikey914 Nov 29 2017, 04:40 PM

Yes it is year specific. so will do what does the greatest good 1st,

First, I intend to do the one at the top of the windshield 1st as it always gets damaged when the urethane is used in the windshield install.

Posted by: mb911 Nov 29 2017, 06:30 PM

Mark did the price get less expensive?? I must be seeing things? Either way that's awesome.

Posted by: BeatNavy Nov 29 2017, 06:48 PM

It does seem like it came down in price. I'm in for two now.

Posted by: stevend914 Nov 29 2017, 07:06 PM

Pretty sure I need one, so count me in.

Posted by: Mikey914 Nov 29 2017, 08:01 PM

You know who want to go head to head. I make mine here in the US, and will make them even if I loose money. Kind of rubs me the wrong way, so I'll dance.

Posted by: RoadGlue Nov 29 2017, 08:12 PM

Posted by: Jett Nov 29 2017, 08:34 PM

I’ll buy one as well.

Posted by: mxkinn01 Nov 29 2017, 08:43 PM

I'll take one too Mark. You guys are the best.

Posted by: MasterCylinder Nov 29 2017, 09:24 PM

I'm in for one

Posted by: relentless Nov 29 2017, 09:56 PM

I think I need one

Posted by: djway Nov 29 2017, 10:29 PM

You know who once charged me $175 for Lugnuts. I had to get the credit card company involved to get my money back

Posted by: mb911 Nov 30 2017, 06:53 AM

This weekend going to dig mine out and ebay it.. Give me funds for your parts. Thanks for doing this..

Posted by: 11tenths Nov 30 2017, 11:17 AM

Even the replacement I bought last year has a crack...



I'm in.

Been wishing for this. I'm in for 1.

Posted by: maf914 Dec 12 2017, 05:36 PM

I am also in for this. Thanks, as always.

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 6 2018, 09:14 AM

Been working on the master, still have some work to do but looks better. Not perfect yet.

Posted by: cary Jan 6 2018, 09:24 AM

Me too .................. Start with one.

Posted by: worn Jan 6 2018, 09:27 AM

Me too.

Posted by: gothspeed Jan 6 2018, 09:36 AM

I assume this pad will use aluminum or stainless instead of steel inside, like other stuff you make?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 6 2018, 10:11 AM

Planning stainless. I'm actually working on them this next week. Could go aluminum, but depends on how well the material bonds on the bottom lip. Even the stock have delaminated on some I've seen. We are planning to perforate it to help. But have to test.
