There customer service and customer appreciation is very high.

they are awesome!

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 10 2018, 11:39 PM

Thanks, we do try.

I'll pass this on to Scott as he's not in the forums. He's really my right hand man.

It's always nice to be appreciated.

Thank you.

Can vouch. The support given to the community really can't be topped.

Yep! Placed an order today as I was trying to figure out why my alt was not going all the way up to get the belt on/off cleanly. Ended up ripping the boot trying to take it off, it needed replacement anyway. This was going to slow my rebuild, but these guys shipped one out today so I should get it Wednesday.

I purchased 2 black rubber targa hold downs last year and out of the blue 5 months later, they sent me two more free with a note saying these are the improved versions. Who else does this?........nobody.

Posted by: horizontally-opposed Jun 11 2018, 08:49 PM

Gonna go ahead and third or tenth that. Just got a package from 914rubber with two Euro foglight lenses. Shipped quickly, packed well, arrived safely.

Nicely done!

Mucho ditto to all the above. I think I was one of the first customers, back with a complete weather stripping and front/rear hood seals. Awesome folks, with great products (fit EVERY time) and wonderful service. Just one suggestion: make the lower oil cap gasket (022-115-315; really big rubber washer thing) - can't find new ones anywhere!

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 12 2018, 01:23 PM

Tell me more. I probably can.

Posted by: bdstone914 Jun 12 2018, 02:25 PM

This one inside the cap?

THe rusty one is an original VW Beetle cap. The shiny one a VW repro. They are still available. Not tried it on a tank but have heard that some have too stiff a spring that causes the flat gasket to get torn up. will try the fit on a tank and reports back.

Already made them in rubber. The paper tears when you try to install. I can do in the "correct" material if you wish, but they are not easy to install.

Also re plated some caps

Posted by: RoadGlue Jun 12 2018, 04:44 PM

He said the lower oil cap gasket.

I think he means the one where the oil screen cover sits on the bottom of the motor... maybe... StarBear? Is that an o-ring?

Posted by: RoadGlue Jun 12 2018, 04:48 PM

Oh wait, not an o-ring. I have no idea.

Stole the photo from another post -

The oil FILLER cap gasket? The famous "710" cap.

Posted by: bdstone914 Jun 12 2018, 06:41 PM

I think the OP means the rubber cup shaped part down below the metal parts.
To get them out you need to uncurl one of the three crimps that hold the cap together.
If you are that far you might as well get anew cap.
They are the same as a VW Beettle cap.
They may not be good quality. will try the one I have to see how if fits.

Posted by: 75914-L20C Jun 12 2018, 06:50 PM

It is the lower gasket for the L-Jet oil cap. http://914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=288929 No idea if Terry still has these available or not. It would be great if 914Rubber could make both the upper and lower gaskets.

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 13 2018, 09:43 AM

Simple enough. Can you identify the material? Seems to be a fluoropolymer, but they were not is use in that time period. Would make a better seal.

Posted by: StarBear Jun 13 2018, 02:16 PM

Nope - on the stem to the oil fill throat, below the oil cap and O ring; (formerly) part number 022-115-315
Just like those red ones shown.

Posted by: StarBear Jun 13 2018, 02:17 PM

Yep - that one ( the indicated part number is correct)

Posted by: StarBear Jun 14 2018, 06:10 AM

Yes, that's the one. Will post photo and dimensions in replay to Mikey914 post

Posted by: StarBear Jun 14 2018, 06:12 AM

Here's a photo and dimensions. From a used one so may (?) have swelled a bit.

Mark

Posted by: StarBear Jun 15 2018, 06:11 AM

Awesome! I'd be glad to do a confirmation/QA fit test on one or two for you.

Posted by: NS914 Jun 15 2018, 06:23 AM

Yup and second that sentiment from Canada....the guys have helped me out on a few occasions...so much thanks to our vendors here on the World!

I think I have just finished the last of my wiring and the engine will go back in...and can you believe come down off of those jack stands!!!! (I know I know...what was I thinking saying that out loud!!!)

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 15 2018, 09:48 AM

Should have the 1st parts today. In Viton.

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 15 2018, 11:31 PM

As promised I completed these and in 2 different versions.
One in a commercial grade Neoprene (the shiny one)
The other in Viton that should last forever.

I'll get these listed up shortly.
Thanks all
