On the Dansk fuel tank I just checked on your site and they appear to be at the same price. How can I get the discount? I’ll buy now at the pre inventory stocking you mentioned. Thanks

now they are 199.00 before we put them up. We actually had to send and early and a late to dansk to have them get the bracketing perfect an now it is, so we have an early one and a late one

850 per side (why would anyone buy a single?) + shipping and any handling fees. It would be simpler if the price was stated in the ad, er...announcement.

I am just taking stuff out of the packaging and sending it hence the spot prices. Soon as it is stocked or someone buys on line will be the regular price.
Anyone who wants anything just call me today and I wills send the "stuff" out. I will just mark the dansk stuff up for our immediate costs today and make the best deal I can. We all know each other so a personal call is great and I like to talk to everyone 850 per side (why would anyone buy a single?) + shipping and any handling fees. It would be simpler if the price was stated in the ad, er...announcement. |

Sounds like a good deal on the tanks. I paid more than that to have mine professionally cleaned and sealed.
What years are the two tank models for. I have a 1974 built in late 73. Thx |

Whats a new set of stainless heat exchangers going for these days? 850 per side (why would anyone buy a single?) + shipping and any handling fees. It would be simpler if the price was stated in the ad, er...announcement. 1500 zach if purchased now for the set. Trying to understand why Dansk's stainless steel 914-4 heat exchangers can be had for $1500 a set while Dansk's mild steel 914-6 heat exchangers are $3500... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I get that there's an extra pipe and flange per side, but… |

according to John Daniels, he never made the six heat exchangers while he was in business because of the complicated bend in them, took very special and expensive tooling. I know that Dansk spent a lot of time with the tooling, and then the first ones they made did not even fit properly!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or maybe they figure that's what each owner 4 vs 6 will pay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I know that Dansk spent a lot of time with the tooling, and then the first ones they made did not even fit properly!!!!!!!!!!!! That's not far off from what I heard. John Daniels' shop was right around the corner from Excellence back in the day, and I visited several times. I remember Brad Roberts later went to work for him, and mentioned that John had the /6 heat exchangers ready to go but never offered them for two reasons he couldn't get them to be quite equal length (which would fit with his perfectionist bent). Tragic as that is, given the unmatched quality of SSI's products (had them on my 914-4 as well as my 911 SC), I suspect John also looked at the production numbers of the 914 and had a tough time justifying the tooling. That's understandable when you compare 914-4 and air-cooled 911 production to 914-6 production—though time has probably greatly increased the population of six-cylinder 914s. I'm guessing Dansk bought all the dies from the prior owner for the fours but had to make new dies for the six. Or maybe they figure that's what each owner 4 vs 6 will pay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) You might be right, but Dansk's pricing is difficult to justify as a result of this thread—it really brings light to the disparity between Dansk's offerings to -4 owners and -6 owners. The price of Ben's beautiful, handmade stainless 914-6 heat exchangers and the price of high-quality -6 headers in mild steel from MSDS providing additional markers alongside Dansk's -4 and -6 price points. George made a nice offer to someone, allowing $1500 for a pair of stainless 914-4 HEs before he puts them away, a $300 discount. The fact that he can do that, and still make enough profit to make him happy, says a great deal. As much as I like the appearance of Dansk's 914-6 heat exchangers, Ben and Marty are offering superior value—and both are made in the USA. It also seems like MSDS Inc is in a position to offer its headers not only with optional coatings that will increase their lifespan but perhaps optional heat too? Even if they were smaller or "lightweight" heater boxes, they would be pretty appealing—as I've been on the fence about heat exchangers for several years now. |

marty's headers are certainly superior in flow to the fatory heat exchangers, I have a set on my 9142430257 with a 3.0 in it, but Marty does not make heat exchangers.

Good to know on the flow—thank you! Is it true that the SSI heater boxes are crimped on or spot-welded around the edges? If so, one begins to wonder how hard it would be to add heater boxes that could be crimped onto MSDS headers...which I've had my eye on for a while now. That would provide an attractive option for those of us who like the factory look of Dansk's HEs, but simply don't need "original" looking HEs on our six conversions at that price point. If I lived someplace where it mattered or planned to use my 914 daily again, I'd be all over Ben's stainless HEs. But I just haven't been able to get over the $2500-3500+ hump to add heat to a car I rarely use. |
