Thanks Mikey914 !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


---------------------------
Is it me, or are these door lock seals impossible to find?

I made a post last week about trying to find some of these fragile rubber seals, so that I could complete the rebuild of my door locks - and it appears NO one makes them (Yet!). Hopefully these photos of one will help someone (Mikey914 ??) make some as Aftermarket brand.

This one is a bit dirty, but it is still in very good usable condition.

So, they look like this in the door keylock assembly:

approximate width is about .177

Ok, well this concludes the slide show & gives a good idea of what this animal looks like, and the approximate measurements, give or take a few mils......if need be, I can try to take added measurements, or maybe send a busted sample to someone.


Anyway, I hope this is enough to spark someone to begin making these door lock seals, as replacement parts since OEM is not an option. I will begin on the glove box & trunk seal just subsequently, since I believe they are slightly different measurements (?).

Cheers,
Ken

Ken - you might PM or email Mikey914 (Mark W.) & see if he can & will make them & where to send the decent shape seal, since I think he typically uses a good used, or preferably new/NOS part from which to make a mold IIRC.
... Send him this one, if you can part with it until he gets some made?

Mark - FYI - I'll be in for at least 2 for my door locks, 4-5 if they're found in all of the 914 locksets (2 doors, F &/or R trunks, glovebox), & it sounded like a lot of folks out there will need them too.

Cheers back at ya! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I can put this on my plate, should be able to have something in a week or so. Hopefully less as I took my lock apart to get a sample and it fell apart. Now I need one too. The other lock proved to be a more viable sample, but wow, it just disentigrated.

So the question is how many peopel need these? I have a suspicion that there are quite a few that do and don't even know.

I can make these for $3.15 per part for those that want to step up now. After production has been run $5 each. Quite a difference in price, but if you want to step up now and commit to a few parts, you'll save some cash.

Dang! - I already missed the first sets for $2.85 each .... now they're $3.15! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
... now that's inflation not seen since 1930's Deutchland or something! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Calculated the cost, but needed to allow for drop and have a small cushion to cover any adjustments. Still better that not signing up now.

No problem Mark, I'm happy to pay whatever you need to do them, cuz we need you to stay in business on these - even if you're not profit motivated per our past conversations. I just figured you recalculated it again & corrected the post.

But I couldn't resist (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) some fun at you.

OT -but hey, I referred my buddy Jerry S with that pristine original 71 914/4 to you for some seals & maybe a drive by assessment of what he needs when you're down here on a flight. I think he needs cowl seals & window scrapers & the top windshield to targa seals at the least. He's in San Clemente, an ex-corporate helo pilot & architect (so tell him about your deck rails for his projects also). PM or email me if you want his cell to set up a time.

Did anyone research VW/Audi door lock seals?
The 914 seals look just like every VW/Audi door lock seal I have had apart in the last 20 years. I have never compared 914 to VW/Audi but always assumed they were the same size. VW/Audi door handles were a common failure and I re-keyed almost everyone I replaced. I probably have 3 or 4 seals loose in my tool box and a few in door handles I still have around. I don't know if the seals are available separately or not.

Does anyone know if these are used in just the door locks or all locks (doors, hood, trunk and glove box)?
