For those of you that have been following my reproductions of the seals you will know that I have shrived to be as close to factory as I can on my reproductions. This is one exception. In doing some research, I found the original to be a dense extruded foam rubber. While I can manufacture seals with identical material, I have made a deviation. Here's why: The extruded foam rubber is actually porous and can trap water. Now I know why most all 914's I've seen have some rust in the lower door channels. I have selected a soft marine grade solid rubber to tool up for. This will provide a seal that will not trap and retain water. I will have these on line in about 4-6 weeks (maybe less). Let me know if you would like to be put on the list. Attached is a close up of the factory seal (on the right), you can see how it is sponge like, and can hold water. On the right is my seal. It is solid soft marine grade rubber. It is about the same hardness as the factory, only slightly harder (you may not even notice). Nice fit, just like factory. I had to brighten the photo so you could see the difference, so the picture isn't great, but you really can see the difference. Thanks, Mark Attached image(s) |
