These have all stainless internal structure with stainless mounting studs. The density is a heavy foam rubber, about the same density of the originals.

I was really banging my head against the wall on this one. No mater how much pressure we used I couldn't match the exact weight of the used on I had. That was until I got ahold of a NOS one. I noticed it was about the same weight as the ones I had produced.

I don't do much with foam, but aparently this material this material will hold moisture VERY well.

I can make the same weight if I soak the in water for a few hours, but you will notice they feel about 1 lb light. The density is NOT that of a nerf ball (like the first ones). The feel pretty close to OEM, NOS.

Well Mark, now that I have 3 sets of front tits - one is NOS - I still may opt to go with these in the future for the same reasons I opted for your toppers over OEM - better & denser rubber/plastic & better SS metal bits to last longer.

IIRC these in OEM flavor had a diamond or scissors shaped metal brace inside which will collapse to absorb up to a 3 mph. impact (1st stage of DOT's impact bumpers, 75-76 being stage two 5 mph).

Do your repros have those in SS or solid rubber/plastic?

... if SS, any issues with the SS being less malleable & more brittle than the OEM mild steel/carbon steel?

Very nice.

Not to hijack, but with all the awesome rubber products that Mikey is putting out, has anyone done the drivers side door pull? I've seen the pocket portion of it in fiberglass, but the rubber top (two pieces) I'll bet would sell like hot cakes. I don't think I've seen, and I've definitely never owned, a 914 that didn't have micro-cracking all over it.

Hijack over, Awesome parts Mikey.

I have a question.... which cut of meat is the best for a black eye????

Ya see....I read this thread earlier today, and when I saw it again I turned around and said to Betty "Hey...do you need new tits?"


After picking myself up off the floor, and putting ice on my left eye, I explained that I was referring to the bumper tits on a 914.

Now she wants to know something....

If she puts 3 of them on the front of her car, is it officially the triple breasted whore of eroticus six??




BTW.. she wants a set.

Clay - save the steak for the BBQ - bag of frozen peas works as well & doesn't cost as much & the steak tastes better! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here's my 2 cents worth - items left from the infamous 1985 Bimbette Run-in of my then freshly restored 73 2L - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
"Titz in Action" - or "what happens to old titz" ~ they sag & get wrinkly - or "Mashed Titz"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My internal structure is shaped as "A" to describe it best. It is stainless and the properties of the 316 that I'm using are very much like the carbon steel, except it will not rust. they will collapse on impact.

Now for the disclaimer on these-
I'm not conducting DOT testing on these, they are to be considered an ornamental item, and are for show car or off road use only.
They will be bagged with this disclaimer on the label.

With that being said, these will be nearly identical to the OEM with the exception of the internal structure and mounts being stainless.

I knew one side was NLA, that's kind of what precipitated this project, I could do just one side, but when you have fresh rubber next to old rubber, the next question usually is how much for the other side?

I may make the sides available individually, but the set price would be best. If there's enough interest I'll commit to the final tooling.
