I started a thread in the member vendor section to keep the garage clean. Please commit over there, and not here to keep things organized. Thanks everyone!
Member Vendor link Hey guys, so a friend of mine owns a store that sells wheel stud conversion kits for BMW's, and is getting involved in Porsches. He had mentioned being interested in selling a kit for 914's at a group buy price if enough people were interested in it. The kit includes 16 thread in studs, and 16 high quality ball seat nuts. (these nuts are not the cheap imitators. These actually fit our ball seat wheels). Both are made in Europe and are TUV certified, so it's good quality hardware. The studs are bullet nose, and thread in with an allen wrench. Installation is easy, and only require the removal of you wheels. Here's a pic from his website of the dimensions of the stud that will come with the kit: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.motorsporthardware.com-9714-1352904604.1.jpg) I'll know pricing options when I get back with him later today, but for those interested, please chime in. Thanks everyone, Ethan Okay, we have pricing back Pricing: The available kits are as follows: 4-Lug (16 studs and nuts) 82mm with Silver/yellow Zinc Ball seat nuts: $100shipped 82mm with Black OEM grade Zinc Ball seat nuts: $137shipped 5-lug (20 studs and nuts) 82mm with Silver/yellow Zinc Ball seat nuts: $110shipped 82mm with Black OEM grade Zinc Ball seat nuts: $147shipped Discount structure: 1-10 kits - Prices posted above (Special introductory pricing!) 11-20 kits - $5.00off 21-30 kits - $7.00off 31-40+ kits - $10.00off We're aiming for an end date of December 9th at midnight. Payment instructions will come after the group buy has closed. For those who want to receive their studs BEFORE the group buy has ended, that is available, but you would forfeit any further discounts. For example, say we have 24 people. If you want to receive your set now, you would only be eligible for the $7 off. If the group buy reaches another discount tier, you would forfeit that discount. |

Bottom line for the hard to realize or CSOB people out there. This GB is a great deal. Lug Bolts are so much more harder to utilize than studs but if you would rather spend your time holding tires up with your feet while installing the Lug Bolts then don't buy this option. Also, if you would like your car to be "original" then do not respond to this GB.
In fact,don't even request a picture of the finished product because you have no idea of the value of this GB. OK, this will be hard for some of you to get, if you are a cheap skate and wish to see and confirm the value of this GB, please do not waste anymore of our time by posting a request for pictures. The people who really know the value of this GB have already committed to this buy and do not wish for you to waste their time. We only wish to quickly tabulate the total committed buyers so that we can figure our savings. Yes, we are also CSOBs, but at least we know a great deal when we see one. |
