Just wanted to see if there are any other interested parties in the club for these rivets to warrant another order. So far just 1 member. They come in black and white.

I'm interested.

cost?

Posted by: tod914 Aug 17 2006, 02:06 PM

The'll be like 10 cents per rivet.. very inexpensive. Depending upon the year, will determine what color combination you'll need. 36 to do the car, but you'll need a couple xtra in case. If we can get 6 or so people interested I'll reorder more. Need to be purchased in bulk being the shipping is like $10.

Geoff

Posted by: tod914 Aug 17 2006, 04:57 PM

According to the John Long book.. 70-73 1/2 model years with alluminum threshold plates take all white rivets (outer rockers and threshold).. 73 1/2 model years +, with black plastic threshold plates take black rivets on the threshold plates and white rivets on the outer rocker covers. Hope thats helpfull. Should be about a week and 1/2 before they come in. Ill let you all know.

Posted by: So.Cal.914 Aug 17 2006, 05:05 PM

If it's not to late I need some also, an early set will work. Please let me know.

Thanks.

Posted by: BKLA Aug 17 2006, 05:36 PM

Fifty (50) whites, please. . . .

Posted by: tod914 Aug 18 2006, 10:10 AM

Just don't want to mislead anyone on these things.. You'll have to remove one of the four prongs on the rivet with a razor blade. The tops match perfect to the originals, but the prongs are just slightly thicker. It's still a snug fit with 3 prongs but other than the clear OEM ones (which are also a bear to install), seems like the best alternative. When I get my car back next week, I'll post step by instructions which hopefully will make the install easier for you. Save you all some trial and error. Order went in, will keep u all posted.

You guys are making me feel like a doof for using pop rivets. biggrin.gif

Same here 50 black.

Posted by: STL914 Aug 18 2006, 06:39 PM

Todd,

Add me to your list for (50) of the black rivets.

Thanks

Posted by: tod914 Aug 18 2006, 08:46 PM

I have black available.. but waiting on white to come in. If you only want black I can send them out right away. Keep in mind though.. the outer rocker covers should have the white. But happy to send what ever you like. Ill send out PM's to those who just requested black to confirm they just want black only.

Thanks

Posted by: Gint Aug 18 2006, 09:51 PM

Cool. I could use enough to do 2 complete 914's. I never counted 'em, so, whatever it takes to do two cars please.

Is there any reason, other than to not be a doof, for not using regular pop rivits?

-Jeff

Posted by: brownaar Aug 19 2006, 07:22 AM

I'll take enough plus a few extra to do one car. I need both the black and clear for a late 73.

Posted by: tod914 Aug 19 2006, 12:41 PM

Bondo, nothing wrong with the pop rivets. The plastic I think would be abit easier to remove if needed. There was a bunch of looking for original style rivets for some time. Finally found a manufacturer that offered a substitute. The OEM clears ones which are the only ones carried by Porsche now, are too expensive. The white and black have been unavailable for some time. The Porsche rivets are like 80 cents each according to one member whom posted a recent invoice. There's a couple original one owner 75 and 76 cars that have pop rivets in the outer rockers. We couldn't find any documentation on it to determine if all 75 76 model year cars came that way from the factory. It's just a question of what works for you.

Posted by: tod914 Aug 20 2006, 11:23 AM

I posted 3D Install instructions which will hopefully save you all alittle trial and error. Scroll down to the bottom of that page.

Probably nothing, the plastic ones were orginal. I'm using fiberglass rockers, and I was concerned that the metal ones might cut into or cause the fiberglass to crack.
