The Bosch factory that made them was 10 minutes from my house. I do not know if they are still there. I have a friend that works there. I wonder if she still does...

I have a stash as well. Although, they don't like the gas mix up here in Maine. I have to soak them periodically. My 30+ year old originals never need soaking. Go figure.

Performance Parts' catalog still lists them as having these new in the box for $150 each, too.

PP & many other parts stores online list them, but do not really have them - rather are "hoping" to find some if anybody orders. PP & another 2 generic ones online selling Bosch parts listed them, charged me, notified me that they couldn't find them, then reversed the charges.

IMHO - if you find them from a reputable 914 source with them in stock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) then buy them now (note the post above).
