Got some folks looking for these, and they should be a simple inexpensive parts. Gonna do a run up this next week in stainless. When available looks like these are at least 2X the price or more.

Who needs em
I'm sure we can send out reg mail for less than $2.

Who's in?

Yup. I’ll take a couple.

Mark,
These need to be able to BEND into the slot of the roller cover. You do not want to make them too stiff.

Posted by: brant Feb 17 2020, 07:50 AM

I don’t think they should be stainless. ?

Ideally they could be bent 3-4 times before the crack

I could also use one

I will take a couple. Thanks as always.

great price, we had looked into doing these in the original material and cad plated and it was going to cost over four bucks each!

I may mention this though: Although stainless is the superior material, this part has to bend completely around, so will the stainless bend easily without a big effort??

Put me down for a couple

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 19 2020, 11:37 PM

Played around with a few different alloys. Definitely some are better than others, found the one we will be using and can make it soft enough to work like the OEM part. Bringing in enough to do a production run worthwhile.
George I can set you up too if you want.

Posted by: 913B Feb 20 2020, 01:40 AM

Me too

Posted by: dr914@autoatlanta.com Feb 20 2020, 10:01 AM

good man, Mark. Yes I will buy some

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 25 2020, 12:20 AM

I'll be finishing these up tomorrow will be able to start shipping Wednesday!

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 25 2020, 09:32 PM

Done,
Just need to get these listed up on the site. Trying to figure out how to do the single part alone. Reg mail in a padded envelope run $1 to $1.40 Looking at the reg mail without tracking for those that are willing to risk trusting the post office to deliver. Perhaps with the warning that if it gets lost we have no tracking for you this is at your own risk. Honestly, USPS does a pretty good job most of the time, but there's always the potential to loose something.

We are getting these listed up and will PM all shortly. I test fit and bent over the tab today. Fits as it should.

I’m fine without tracking and probably should get more than one

Will you share a link on this thread please
When you ready. No rush

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 26 2020, 01:17 AM

Funny,
I can make the parts faster than I can get them listed.
Blake will be doing these on Thursday. I can send the PMs out shortly after.
Thanks,
Mark

Posted by: 914e Feb 28 2020, 02:03 AM

Are they up yet? I have few parts in a cart I was hoping to pick these up as well. Then again I seem to be ordering parts every week anyway.
Thanks

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 28 2020, 03:23 AM

Having more of an issue with trying to list the part than making it. Trying to figure out how to add the reg postal shipping that will keep this part inexpensive to ship.

+1

Just put it in the box with everything else....

Posted by: Rleog Feb 29 2020, 04:08 PM

I’ll take one. Thanks.

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 29 2020, 06:09 PM

PMs sent to all this far will keep the GB open for a few weeks so if any stragglers are out there they can get a deal too.

Posted by: euro911 Mar 1 2020, 02:32 AM

I should probably get 2 of them

Mark - Can you have your guy(s) ship 2 of them along with my tan upholstery order, or the EARLY M/Y TPS board ? ... I'll include the additional $ in the check I'm sending for the other parts you sent - honest

Posted by: StarBear Mar 1 2020, 09:50 AM

Sure, I'm in for 2. OK to send with pendng visor/clips, too, if possible and convenient for you. Thanks!

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 1 2020, 04:01 PM

PMs sent to all so far.
Yes we can add to visors if your ok with a short wait. 10days ish.
If you have placed an order already, best to drop a call to the shop to hold and combine. Scott and Kenzie will start shipping these Monday morning and I would imagine they will all be shipped quickly, so that is the fastest as I’m on the road til Tuesday.
