914 Rubber Headlight Restoration Kit Group Buy, Working on the final parts now. Options

[Matty900]

We have made all of the parts needed to restore your pop up headlights. We are just finalizing the headlight adjuster screws (that are always stripped out.)
We have made:
-New white and black headlight surrounds
-New Pivot Shaft bushings
-New Push Rods (for the Late Cars)
-New Splash Guards (for the Early Cars)
-New Brush's
-New Adjuster Screws (These are still in process so they will not be in the kits. You will be able to order them later if you need them)
-New Adjuster Blocks
-Color matched paint for restoring the housing
-Option for new LED Headlights
-Option for New Headlight Globes
-New "Eyebrow" Grommets
-New Cad Plated 2 hole and 3 hole backing plates.
-New improved Headlight Wiring Harness grommets
-New Wiring Harness Anti Chafing edge protectors (for Late cars)

This should be a great project and satisfying to complete.

You can buy most of these parts now on the new website but we will have a group buy for the Restoration Kit for 914 World Members first.

Who wants one? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I wonder how many of us with Early Cars have surrounds
that look something like this ??
I can't even blame the DAPO.... I painted them in 1973.
These repro's would make life a lot easier....

I even cut my rear valance down to look like a later one...

DOH...

Most of the white headlight surrounds I pick up have been painted black. I'm all for the new ones that 914 rubber are making but the old ones can be brought back. I remove the paint by soaking in mineral spirits and then a long soak in bleach. This usually gets them back to a light cream, not bright white. After this process, if I'm not satisfied, I just paint them white with white plastic paint. If I know I am going to paint them, I skip the soaks and just bead blast them and paint. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy repos, I just don't want people to throw away the originals thinking they are ruined.

The problem is you loose the texture. So yes, you can even paint black ones white, but again the paint does fill some of the texture.

These are coming online this next week and will be shipping by Friday.
PMs will go out mid week so sign up now if you want the deal.
