Tester thread for possible future group buy, Early, Brick mold in tan, brown, and cinnamon Options

[Mikey914]

I'm looking into having these made, Unfortunately, the minimum quantity is about 500 yards. I can do all 3 if I do this. The average car would take about 3.5 yards in door cars, dash, and both seats. I can do the materials only, and or process these into seats. So it's not too much of a stretch to make this work. The tooling is in Germany, so there will be some shipping involved. If I can get this quantity the cost should be about $35 a yard. I need to look at about 1/2 of the material being committed to do this. The question is can I get about 72 people committed at relative cost of $120? This pattern has not been available for some time in these colors.
So Who's interested?

Folks .... that's called "basketweave" in all of the original Porsche sales brochures (70-74 except 71 was perforated & smoother).

Brickweave was what Porsche called the flatter 75-76 texture.

Those who doubt that, go look at Jeff Bowlsby's website at the factory docs. You guys just make it far more confusing to get what you really want, by mix-n-matching the names.

Lakewell.com in Europe has the "Beige" (what Porsche called the 70-74 Tan) & IIRC the Brown in the correct basketweave, so trying to do another GB on them may be a PITA, until/unless they run out. They do both ready to go full 914 kits, & roll stock.

BTW - all dashed would've been in black for any color upholstery, & many may not like the dash in another color. IMHO it's distracting & off looking with a tan or brown dash, since all the gauges & top & bottom pads are black anyway.

Just food for thought Mark.
