914World.com _ 914World Garage _ GB -Thresholds and carpet strips (black in aluminum NOT plastic)
Posted by: Mikey914 May 25 2020, 08:11 PM
You know me, if I'm in a position to save you all some money, I'll pass it on.
We are doing another large run of the thresholds and carpet strips.
The "chrome" is an anodized finish so they will not dull. The black are not like the factory part in that it was plastic. This is especially annoying in that the carpet strips sag when you tighten down the screws. The aluminum does not do this. We hard coat anodize these with the black dye so that they are extremely difficult to scratch. In fact it had an aluminum oxide "shell" that keeps it from scratching.
I'm looking at doing a kit that includes the push rivets and screws (black nickel coated for the black sills)
Would need 10 takers of each flavor. and would be at least $60 off, more if we get more takers, the silver could be even more as the finishing costs are less.
Who's interested?

I'd be interested in a black set; the plastic parts are really cheesy.
Posted by: Robarabian May 25 2020, 09:07 PM
I am interested but would like to know the price versus the discount (which is quite generous)

Mark,
I realize your website shows what they look like, but they look more like a drawing could you post a picture of each type? @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=3348

I'd be interested in a set of silver, but only if they come undrilled. I need to match-drill the existing holes in the chassis.

We can do that. I am assuming you want the carpet strips drilled?

Interested in a black set. Any information on pricing yet?
Posted by: Mikey914 May 28 2020, 09:41 AM
I was waiting to see how many were interested, as I can do better now than I expected. I was also waiting to get the screws together on these as the black is problematic without screws as the old ones generally are shot and why put crappy screws on a new carpet strip.
I will post up the details later today with pics.

Mark,
Can I get a black hardware kit? Mine has turned up missing from box.
Posted by: Mikey914 May 30 2020, 12:12 PM
We will make hardware kits available too alone for those that need them. The 1st parts should be ready at finishing Monday. I will start sending out PMs Sunday night.
Hardware kits will be listed sometime this week as these are new for us we have to get them listed alone.
Thanks all

Cool idea.
I had a distant relative working at the Fischer plant in So Cal that took me through the factory when I was about 5 yo.
The main thing I remember is how dirty it was. Later I went through the Kaiser steel mill and discovered what dirty was.

When I first bought my 2nd 914 a year ago one of the first things I did was to get rid of the plastic black carpet strips for metal ones, I think from Auto Atlanta, can't quite remember.
Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 2 2020, 08:49 PM
Yes if you have a mask order hold out for a day or two. I need get the listings straight.
Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 3 2020, 08:39 AM
For those of you that are wondering. You may have got a notice that the black nickel screws were back ordered. They are not. Just an internal oops we didn't set the listing up to pull from inventory. Sorry about that.

Thanks, Mark; was just looking for them and they're not listed. Will hold off a day or so for to be straightened out. Onward!

Late to the party, but would like a set in black please.
Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 3 2020, 03:48 PM
PMs to all so far
The screws are not sold separately as of yet they will eventually be on the site in 2 flavors. Screws as stand alone and with the push rivets as an install kit.
To get the link to the complete kit and the discount just add a +1 and I will send you a PM.
Posted by: hcdmueller Jun 3 2020, 04:23 PM
I'm late too. I'll take a set in black.
Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 26 2020, 03:50 PM

Last call on these ends the 30th
Posted by: iamchappy Jun 26 2020, 05:13 PM
Could you possibly do only the carpet strip in black. Threshold not needed but could really use the carpet strip.
Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 26 2020, 06:05 PM
I do them in just black they are right here as a stand alone-
For you I'll add in the screws just add a note in to please include
https://900designs-container.zoeysite.com/black-anodized-aluminum-carpet-strip-1
These are sold individually.

I just installed a set of NOS plastic but should probably buy a metal set, just in case.
Mark am I too late to the GB?
Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 27 2020, 10:34 AM
Nope -
Codes sent to all so far
The GB code will close out Sunday Midnight Pacific time
Still some time left
I'm most proud of the Black Nickel plated screws, they turned out nice. The problem with black zinc was there was galvanic corrosion and the would oxidize making a white chalk. These will not.

I have a 1970. I wanna be sure I make the right choice as far as color for that year. My donor car has silver. Does anyone know if it matters what color other than preference. I’ll definitely take one full set I just don’t know which one
Posted by: roundtwo Jun 29 2020, 12:56 AM
I am in for a full set of black with all the fasteners. I sent a PM to you too thank you

Shoot! Is it still Sunday night by you? If so I’d like a black set.
Otherwise, snooze, lose...
Thanks Mark
Posted by: Gint Oct 15 2020, 04:39 PM
I missed this at the time, but this is a stupid excellent buy at RETAIL! I did not see them in the catalog when I bought a bunch of parts.
@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=3348 Are the aluminum carpet strips and screws available separately on the site? Those are always crap, even if the threshold plates are presentable.
Posted by: Mikey914 Oct 15 2020, 08:50 PM
Yes they will be if not up yet. We are busy making up lots of hardware kits this is one.
