Big business changes for me 914-6werkshop.com Options

[mb911]

Well it's been 6 years since I started my business providing parts for 014s. It's started as 6 only then included 4s as well. I have provided the following parts

-6 oil tanks
- 6 filler necks
- 6 headers
-6 heat exchangers
-6 mufflers
-4 mufflers
GT bumper cut outs
GT rocker flares
-6 sheet metal.

I was able to get help on the headers, mufflers, and heat exchangers over the years from a former welding student of mine that was looking to start a business. He was also building parts for a former company of mine so it made sense. Over the past year we ran into major suppliers issues and ultimately got priced out of the market which breaks my heart but it is what it is. I will no longer be providing any mufflers in Stainless and headers are going up by almost double in cost from 1400-2200 just to make them worth while. I am not sure how long that will even continue as even though there was a collaboration on the project it seems that there are some ownership issues for the design. I may do something entirely myself in the future for those looking for something special.

Now for the good news.

This will free me up to do all the items I do 100% myself.

I will continue to make oil tanks, GT bumper mods, engine sheet metal, GT rocker flares, and work through the oil lines as needed. I will also be looking for other items to add to support the 914 line. I can't thank this forum and all it's members for all the support over the years and I hope to be able to do it for many more years to come.


Thanks again
Ben

I had tow loops on the front of my teen, took them off because I hit them a few times. In my experience you don't want to hook (flatbed, etc) to the body, you want the wheels or outer suspension points. This allows the car's suspension to work, for one it makes for a much smoother ride.

What would be better is to weld in a HD mount for a 996 tow hook.
