914/6 Steering Column Covers, Reproduction 914/6 column covers Options

[914racer]

I can have fabricated very nice reproductions 914/6 steering covers if there is enough interest. The covers won't cost any more than $250 and possibly less depending on the volume. The cover on the left or top of each picture is an original 914/6 steering column cover and the other one is the reproduction. I am able to build a 911 motor but I can't get more pictures posted with is entry. PM me with a number to text the pictures to.
Thanks
Rich

@914racer

I would like to point out these have been made before so far as copies go, and no one seemed to be very happy with those including comments from George at Auto Atlanta.

On my own real sex during its restoration, the REAL factory part took some messing around with the brass inserts that close the clam shell. If you do it right, you will have a number of people that will want them now and in the future for sure. Curious as to what technique you're using to reproduce the plastic shells and what you're doing with the inserts

Pictures are a must because if you can not get pictures of part, this is not real. I see that you where trying to post 4 pictures of parts but they do not show up. You can get one of the members to help. PM me with your email and I will help you post them.

I have pictures and I can text them to you if you text your number to 513-317-7911. Instead of using brass inserts I attached the covers at the side screws and the drill the hole while on the column. This way any fine tuning can be done for a better outcome.
Thanks for inquiring

Below are Rich's pictures of the column cover. Rich stated the cover with the stickers is an original 914-6 cover and that Rich needs at least 10 interested people to make a run.

Thanks,

This is a factory 914-6 clam cover. A real one on my 6. Please note the factory texture on the part. If these are done as a 3/d printed part, to get it to look somewhat ok, a person could sand the shit of it and go through the grits and spray with a paint with a satin finish or go with some Novus 2 or 3 by hand till you get the finish you want? Parts made from an original primo one in a mold and cast in bk urethane may come out ok if the people doing it knew there stuff. That is why there are non for sale currently by secondary sources. I think that 914 Rubber has the skill to do this.

Now they could be 3d printed and then run through a large vibratory finisher with the right media and then come out as a satin finish, but this takes days and cost a bit of money. I am not in this biz as a job shop, but do have the equipment to do this kind of work but I do it with Lucite blocks as art that I sell at art shows.

Good luck people,

What do we know about the collar that stay between these covers and the dash.
I have two halves, but they don’t stay in place.
Are these still available somewhere?

Those look pretty rough, the 3d printed texture does not match the original. And the missing metal inserts are not great either.

I will just reiterate I got a set from 914 rubber 6-7 years ago that fit about perfect. I think they came from Auto Atlanta possibly? Don’t know for sure but fits pretty nice. The clam shell ears need to be installed on this picture.

[burton73]

There is a cross over here in the parts for sale. I think the member from the Netherlands has a different idea that may be the answerer?

I used a 911 clamshell and it worked just fine. If i recall correctly, those holes shown above are on the underside.
Of course, i also have a 911 dash ...

needed parts certainly

Took George a while to respond, but with what Andy said, why are we spinning our wheels going over this. There should be a standard for people to do the conversations and I do not know just how many people are making 911 clams but all the parts guys are selling them.

I do not know why the Getty dash would be different than the standard dash?

With George’s comments I can assume 914 rubber must have made mine which fits pretty nice.

@mb911 Your dash looks nice. Whose dash is it?
