914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 914-6 Gas Burners How to Restore???

Posted by: 914forme Mar 21 2006, 02:36 PM

I have a set of Gas burners for my 914-6 they are in good shape but need some TLC, what can you do to restore a Mag gas burner?

Powder coat, paint, clear etc.... Not sure where to begin except I know I don't want the sand blast them.

Thanks!

Can't be done. Sorry. Send them to me & I'll dispose of them for you.

I'd send them to Al Reed & have him bring them back to original. Those are my favorite rims. Too pricey for my wallet. tho.

Silver Wurth paint then clear coated or paint them black with silver highlites like the VW crowd does (Gay!)

Good one Mark, Don't think I will fall for it. I got them a while back before people thought they where worth something. Got a set of 5 for $400 and a set of 4 for $250.

Todays prices are to heavy for my wallet also.

Of course I look back at all the rare wheels I have owned and wonder why I sold them?????

Set of 944 Turbo Cup wheels - sold for $500 yep the Mag ones
2 9x15 Fuchs - yep 914-6 GT or 911 RSR wheels
4 6x15 911 deep offset wheels Maybe I should shot myself for that one

I have manged to keep my Orginal Minilights, and another set of 6x15 Fuchs, they run duty on my 914-4.

But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

BTW the black and silver thing drives me nuts Just don't like the look.

There are names we call people like you.

Lucky.

BTW, you wouldn't want to sell off that set of 4 to a fellow non-club member, would ya?

I believe they do require a special primer. I remember the blue coat under the silver on the one that I had. In the old days they were frowned upon due to cracking. I don't know if any were made in the tubeless tire variety; the 'J' in the 5.5Jx15.
