I can have fabricated very nice reproductions 914/6 steering covers if there is enough interest. The covers won't cost any more than $250 and possibly less depending on the volume. The cover on the left or top of each picture is an original 914/6 steering column cover and the other one is the reproduction. I am able to build a 911 motor but I can't get more pictures posted with is entry. PM me with a number to text the pictures to.
Thanks
Rich

@914racer

I would like to point out these have been made before so far as copies go, and no one seemed to be very happy with those including comments from George at Auto Atlanta.

On my own real sex during its restoration, the REAL factory part took some messing around with the brass inserts that close the clam shell. If you do it right, you will have a number of people that will want them now and in the future for sure. Curious as to what technique you're using to reproduce the plastic shells and what you're doing with the inserts

Pictures are a must because if you can not get pictures of part, this is not real. I see that you where trying to post 4 pictures of parts but they do not show up. You can get one of the members to help. PM me with your email and I will help you post them.

I have pictures and I can text them to you if you text your number to 513-317-7911. Instead of using brass inserts I attached the covers at the side screws and the drill the hole while on the column. This way any fine tuning can be done for a better outcome.
Thanks for inquiring
Rich
