About 4 folks pm'd me about the spare tire mount that Kent put in Michaels 914-6.. Kent sent me a pattern so I had some cut.

Gonna sell them for $30 shipped to cover costs. These are made of 16ga so a little heavier but still very flexible for you to shape to your car.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Oct 11 2018, 01:29 PM

Very cool.

Posted by: Chi-town Oct 11 2018, 01:45 PM

Do you have a pic of it installed?

So you remove your old mount and weld it on to your mount?

Posted by: mb911 Oct 11 2018, 03:50 PM

Yes..

Posted by: mepstein Oct 11 2018, 04:02 PM

Cool!

Posted by: 9146BRUCE Oct 11 2018, 04:35 PM

Hi put me down for one shipped to 91325.

Thanks Bruce

Posted by: mgp4591 Oct 11 2018, 06:08 PM

And Kent's royalties are...??

Posted by: mb911 Oct 12 2018, 04:47 AM

Not making any money on these . Just breaking even.. It's a service only and Kent knows that as he sent me the patterns as I told him some people were looking for this mount to be made and had asked me..

So if you want a break down cost is 20 dollars for the part to be cut as only did 10 of them. 7.45 for the USPS flat rate shipping oh and the 2.55 is eaten up in paypal fees..

Posted by: GregAmy Oct 12 2018, 05:23 AM

I like it...a lot!

But allow me to be a bit of a Debbie Downer...in a frontal crash that little bracket isn't going to take much force before it rips out, and I suggest you may lose a lot of front-end crash absorption without the tire mounted horizontal/flat. But that's purely a WAG and I wonder if it really matters much.

Posted by: dr.tim Oct 12 2018, 05:42 AM

Please put me on the list for one.

Posted by: mepstein Oct 12 2018, 05:53 AM

It probably does but if you are doing a front oil cooler you have limited options for placement. Cutting big holes in the front trunk and fenders for a radiator doesn’t help eaither. I’m sticking with a steel bumper instead of glass but that will also have a GT cut out for a cooler. At least my life insurance is paid up.

Porsche did also place a spare tire mounting point in the back trunk.

Posted by: Krieger Oct 12 2018, 08:18 AM

The link didn't do much. I can't tell is this for a collapseable spare?

Posted by: ConeDodger Oct 12 2018, 08:22 AM

Me! I’ll do one!

Posted by: mepstein Oct 12 2018, 08:29 AM

Yes. To fit a wheel vertically, it needs to be collapseable.

Posted by: ValcoOscar Oct 12 2018, 08:37 AM

Ben-

I just sent you PayPal for FOUR of these.

Please hold until you do my front GT opening mod....two are coming to you soon.

You can ship all back together.

Hi Ben,

As per our pm's I'd like 2 of these.
I'll send payment later today.

Thanks,

Posted by: plymouth37 Oct 12 2018, 08:52 AM

That is super clever, nice work guys!

Posted by: bmtrnavsky Oct 12 2018, 08:58 AM

The link in the thread didn't seem to work... Anyone have a pic of the trunk with the tire installed?

I believe I am now sold out of these.. I will check and get back to you..

Posted by: whitetwinturbo Oct 12 2018, 11:02 PM

...........I want one if any are available

Posted by: Rleog Oct 13 2018, 02:37 PM

I could use one of these. Thanks
PayPal sent

Sorry.... did not notice your “Sold Out” post.

Posted by: mepstein Oct 13 2018, 02:43 PM

I have a feeling Ben will make more shortly.

Posted by: rgalla9146 Oct 13 2018, 04:32 PM

The spare does not mount face out as pictured does it ?
Anyone have experience removing a space saver and installing on a
Fuchs ?

Posted by: mb911 Oct 13 2018, 04:43 PM

I probably will as a couple have paid for mounts after I said sold out.. This will NOT be a regular item I make this was just a 1 time deal.. Well now might have to make a few more ..

Posted by: burton73 Oct 13 2018, 04:47 PM

I got a 15” Space saver from Bruce Stone several years ago. Removed it from the Steel wheel and put it on the Fuchs.

Sorry let me start with, First, we filled it with air and then let the air out and it stays in a tall contour. Remove it and mount on Fuchs. Once it was on the Fuchs it takes a bat to hit the tire for it to lay flat. I guess there is some spring steel in the tread body that punches it up.

This worked for the shop next door to my shop to do it. They said it was hard. I was the one that hade to use the bat on it. Same bat I used to roll my wheel arches on my 911.

I recently had it removed from the local tire shop and both the wheel and tire are fine.

If you do another run on theas I’d be most happy to buy one!

Posted by: mgp4591 Oct 13 2018, 05:22 PM

That's cool and thanks for the breakdown - that's a good service and a good deal for a unique piece.

Posted by: rgalla9146 Oct 13 2018, 05:59 PM

Excellent info Bob.....Thank you very much
Rory

Posted by: Chris H. Oct 13 2018, 06:06 PM

I will take one if you make more. Can't believe I missed this !

Posted by: live free & drive Oct 13 2018, 06:28 PM

Ben, I'd also like to get one if you produce more parts.

Posted by: mepstein Oct 13 2018, 07:53 PM

I think I need 4.

Posted by: porbmw Oct 13 2018, 11:09 PM

Hmmm

Hoarder!

I would be pleased with "just" one....if possible...

Paul

Posted by: mepstein Oct 14 2018, 06:38 AM

I have 4 project cars and if Ben is making more pieces, I might as well get them now. Laser cutting doesn’t care if it’s 1 or 4 or 400.

Posted by: mb911 Oct 14 2018, 03:54 PM

Everyone that paid has mounts shipping usps tomorrow except for Oscar's. I will make another run for the remaining interested. Also know I won't make any more after that. It's allot of work but rather the time I don't have to "donate" I would like to do something like what Oscar did possibly as an alternative in the future where proceeds would go to support this site.. That would mean I would charge more..

What does everyone think?

Posted by: Steve Oct 14 2018, 04:14 PM

Works for me!! I will take one if you make more.

Posted by: Larmo63 Oct 14 2018, 04:17 PM

I thought about doing this on my car too, so I'll take one too.

Posted by: porbmw Oct 14 2018, 07:27 PM

Will be grateful for one...and appreciate that time is precious....so if there is an extra charge, I am fine with that.
Thanks
Paul

Posted by: jagalyn Oct 15 2018, 07:02 AM

I'll take one.

Posted by: mb911 Oct 15 2018, 10:15 AM

Everyone's has shipped that paid. Cost of shipping was actually more but consider this my good deed for the group.

Posted by: Chris H. Oct 15 2018, 11:28 AM

Works for me as well.

Posted by: seanery Oct 15 2018, 02:26 PM

I have 7 total that are not spoken for and you are 1st up.. I will Not make any more of these. Same price for these.. I would ask that everyone make some donation to 914world to support this site.

Or at the very least don't forget to donate every year..

Thanks,

Posted by: Literati914 Oct 20 2018, 10:50 AM

Hey if it helps someone who would still like one of these - I'll back out (if that's ok).. I think I'll end up with A/C at some point and I doubt they're compatible. So, if someone wants mine - speak up and pay Ben !

if no-body gets it Ben, I'll buy it anyway..thx.

Posted by: BPic Oct 20 2018, 11:35 AM

I'll take the one Literati914 doesn't want if it's available.

Let me know and I'll send $$

Posted by: mb911 Oct 20 2018, 11:43 AM

.yes no problem these were just meant to help out the community so if you don't want it no biggie. Gonna box up and ship out Monday to everyone and see what's left .. I think there will be 1 left.

Posted by: mb911 Oct 20 2018, 05:48 PM

When my new website launches in about 8 weeks I will likely add this to my catalog.. I may consider making another 100 of them as a stock item but probably not at this price..

Posted by: mb911 Oct 22 2018, 10:40 AM

All have shipped.. Enjoy everyone.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Oct 22 2018, 11:09 AM

I am happy so many here have benefitted from Kent's creativity. I really think he knocked it out of the park with that mount.

Posted by: mb911 Oct 22 2018, 11:55 AM

It worked out to be a good community project with 30 members benefiting from it.

Won't even work for my build but that's ok by me.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Oct 22 2018, 11:57 AM

I am sorry Ben- without you stepping up to make these mounts, put together the group buy and go through all that hassle, it would not have happened. Kudos to both of you.

Posted by: mepstein Oct 22 2018, 11:58 AM

Pourquoi?

Posted by: porbmw Oct 22 2018, 02:07 PM

Don't know how I missed out on the finale on this thread.
If one remains, please let me know.
If not, if someone buys one but ends up not needing it, ,please let me know.

Thanks
Paul

Posted by: mb911 Oct 22 2018, 02:23 PM

I will make these in the future but not for $30 shipped.. I am going to have 100 laser cut so that I can make it worth while.. This is week's down the road..

Posted by: porbmw Oct 22 2018, 05:11 PM

Thanks
No rush from my end.
