Hello Bruce,
I am looking for the a drivers side (Left) guide for my 75'. The part numbers are a little different I have 914.542.174.10, I need 914.542.173.10. Do you have any pictures and will your guides fit? Also any chance of you taking paypal?
Dan

Ooops forgot the pics (excuse poor quality)

Dan,

as far as I know these fit the 73 and up window ends. It is described as "Guide Piece" by PET. This is the part that goes on the door at the lock end of the door. Is black in colour, has two "legs" that are used to attach it to the body. The top is sort of cresent shaped with a rounded notch out of the middle.

The part number you gave #914 542 173 10 is shown as "Terminal Piece". As PET doesn't show the differences between the early 70-72 and the 73+ ones, I'm wondering if this is how PET determines the difference? Good question to post in the CW section. Do you have a picture of the part you have?

So to answer your questions, as far as I know these fit the 73 and up cars. If there is a difference for the 75 cars, I'm not sure. As to paypal, no.

I just pulled the window end caps off the 70 and they have the part number on them from the early post. I've changed the part numbers to reflect the proper replacement part number.

Hey Bruce howsitgoineh?

Do you have a list of all the stuff you have made?

Posted by: GWN7 Jun 12 2007, 06:49 PM

Now you want me to use my brain?

Targa top holders rear
Targa top holders fronts (special)
Door handle seals
Air box seal 73+ yrs
Bumper dog bones
Brake Adjuster Caps
Front Trunk Seal (non OEM style...keeps the water out better)

I've put the front windshield seal on hold for now seeing that Porsche is making them again (and at a reasonable price)

Stuff under development:
Window end caps for 70-72 yrs (finished next week)
Side Marker lenses (clear & tinted) 1/4 done
Side Marker lens gaskets (prototype)
(note to self: send current test model to Mr. Shaffer)
Front Turn Signal lens (clear & tinted) 1/2 done

Bumper Pad Rear (End of month) (waiting on material from supplier)
Stacked Elbow (waiting on sample to start-this week)
Rear Turn signal lenses (euro, US spec & clear or what is wanted)

and I know I'm missing something (or two) that is on my work bench....

Also non P car parts:

Hi Bruce,

I'm in need of the left (driver's side) window cap for my '76. According to my records, its the 914.542.173.10 (not the 174, which I'm pretty sure is the passenger side part, as I have 2 OEM in original packaging with the 174 number.

Are these in your stock? I ordered from AA 3 weeks ago, and they said they'd be in in the following week, but now they're saying another 1-2 weeks.....

Let me know. I'll send you a check immediately for one. Thanks!

update on the bumper tops?

Posted by: GWN7 Dec 10 2007, 02:26 PM

Still working on the bumper tops. Now that winter has set in (-35 here) I'll be spending more time on them.

Posted by: r_towle Jan 28 2008, 09:25 PM

I need both.

You you still have any of these left? Mine is a 73 made in 72 I believe, not sure if that matters or not...
Thanks,

Posted by: blitZ Feb 14 2008, 08:28 AM

Good question. I sent a payment almost 3 weeks ago. No endcaps yet and no response to my emails.

Posted by: GWN7 Feb 14 2008, 12:29 PM

Nathan,

yes it does matter. There was a change over date in 72 when they went to the newer style doors. The earlier doors had a end cap that looks like a block, the later style is smaller cap and has two "legs" that come down off the top of the cap. Do you know which doors you have?

Les,

I sent you a PM about delivery. I would have been able to go to the Post office yesterday except the highways were shut down due to the storm. I would have been able to go today but i don't drive when it's -47 outside. The earliest they can go out now is next week. If that's not good enough let me know and I'll refund your money.

Posted by: blitZ Feb 14 2008, 01:02 PM

I never received a response, but no matter. I still want the end caps when you have a chance.

Keep warm up there, thanks.

Posted by: rhodyguy Feb 16 2008, 09:15 AM

bruce, you should send a few sets to your "go to guy" stateside when you pick up the brittle and avoid the snow hassle.

Posted by: JmuRiz Feb 18 2008, 04:10 PM

I'll try and take a look, I'm not sure since mine have no end caps at all. I'll take a look again at my build-date. That will probably tell the tale. I'll try and send a picture of what it looks like currently too, as you will probably be able to tell from that.

Thanks,

Posted by: gary beck Apr 17 2008, 10:11 AM

I paid with paypal for the end caps many weeks ago and haven’t received the end caps and have emailed Bruce a few times with no response. Does any one know if this guy is still in town?

Posted by: blitZ Apr 17 2008, 12:29 PM

Same here, except it's been a few months. I understand Bruce has some health problems.

Posted by: Mikey914 Apr 17 2008, 04:59 PM

I tried to email him a few weeks ago about producing end caps for my vertical targa seals. No response, so I assume he's not around right now.

Posted by: gary beck Apr 17 2008, 07:10 PM

I hate to inform paypal that I have paid for an item and it wasnt shipped if Bruce is sick or something.
Anyway, I will wait a few days and see if he emails me or I find out more about whats up.
Thanks
Gary

Posted by: Mikey914 Apr 17 2008, 11:38 PM

He's a good guy.... for a Canadian.
I'm sure he'll make it right.

Posted by: gary beck Apr 18 2008, 06:11 PM

Bruce emailed me today and will send out the end caps next week.
He was injured at work but now seems to be doing better.
Thanks Bruce and get better soon.
Gary

Posted by: gary beck May 10 2008, 10:03 AM

Just to let everyone know that Bruce is not responding to my emails and I have not recieved the end caps that I paid for with paypal over 2 months ago.

I will now have to inform Paypal.
What a drag it is that a fellow teener is such a let down.

Posted by: HeavyHeavy May 11 2008, 11:52 AM

I've run into the same problem with some targa top holders that were paid for 2 months ago

Posted by: gary beck May 12 2008, 11:54 AM

I did inform Paypal today about not receiving the end caps, but its been over 45 days so they may not do much.
Bruce please send the end caps today or refund the money to my paypal.
I have sent emails to Bruce but havent heard back from him and I understand that he logs on to this web page often.

Posted by: zonedoubt May 12 2008, 10:43 PM

I was wanting to order some rubber from this guy, but now having second thoughts.

Posted by: gary beck May 13 2008, 11:11 AM

Still waiting.

Posted by: MZM May 13 2008, 06:29 PM

FWIW - I ordered targa top brackets from him and it took a month of Sundays to get them. But they did eventually come and look great! The cold makes everything move S-L-O-W up there I guess.

Its been months for me and he could at least answer my emails.

Posted by: kconway May 14 2008, 03:45 PM

Deleted...Mom always said if you don't have anything good to say keep quiet.

Posted by: gary beck May 15 2008, 10:11 AM

Are you saying not to let the 914 people know about this and let it happen to other people.
I dont think so.

Posted by: kconway May 15 2008, 06:12 PM

No...relax...I posted my (negative) comment about this vendor and decided to delete it since it wasn't my place to comment since I didn't make a purchase. This member vendor was last on this forum a week ago...he should be able to respond to his customers.

Good luck.

Posted by: gary beck Jun 10 2008, 07:05 PM

Never did send the end caps and after many sent emails he never did respond back.

Do not send money to this guy[color=#CC0000][b]
