Do I or don't I...........?  Group: Members Posts: 5,899 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States  |
I've been searching for 4 years now for an early rain tray. I have my original, but it is trash because it split at one of the mountings. And, there is NO glue that will put it back together. Porsche used some sort of imperious plastic for these things!
I just counted them up (the responses indicating that the HAVE ONE & IT'S PERFECT) 87! Guess how many of the 87 had the proper part - 3! Guess how many had a useable part? ZERO! Isn't there someone out there with a flat bottomed rain tray that they want to make some money on? Yeah, I know, this doesn't belong on this forum. I'm desperate & about to give up! Please ..... help me! You can flame away after I find one..... Never mind - doesn't belong on this forum. Sorry. Desperate! Pat |

You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,624 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None

I have one, but it is in the same condition as yours. Have you called Rich a HPH? or try Brad Mayuer at 309-694-1797. Also look up 20th street auto in Phoenix AZ they have a lot of 914 parts.

Sorry to get your hopes up though, it's going onto MY 914-4 when the time comes. |

Sorry to get your hopes up though, it's going onto MY 914-4 when the time comes. OK, let's look at this rationally. You're a "six" guy. Yeah, you have this nice 4 banger, but you'll always give priority to the six (like me - my '73 T gets no attention). So....by the time you get around to the 4, if you ever do, that tray will have rotted away into dust. Why not release it to someone who will do something positive with it? I promise - I'll give credit. Please, please, please! If that isn't begging..... Pat |

It's full of cobwebs underneath, has an oil leak I can't find & it has those bolts in the bottom of the front trunk from an ancient sway bar! Hasn't run in 2 years, needs new tires, brakes need redoing. See 'm sayin? The car's a mess. I'm not joking here! Anyone with a detailed Yugo can beat me! But, I'll be there.

Besides, if we wre talking about racing here, do you think I'd give up what I consider to be an advantage? Course not, and you know it. And so does the Doctor! Pat |
