The old location of Original Customs is now a race car prep shop. The owner is a pretty cool guy. Some of you might know that I own the smog shop 100 yards away. I was talking to him about this yesterday and he said if I bring him the parts he can model them in solid works and we can send the drawings out to online shops for production.

I'll bring the part and drawing to him on Monday and have more information then... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)



Hey Rob,
If interested in making it perfect, I'll take mine off and send it to you for duplication?? Of course you will return mine when finished.
Send me a PM with an address if interested.

Ok, so this is coming together nicely. TBlizz is sending me his original inner mount. I have an original outer mount which TBlizz also sent me (attached to the rear fog I'm using). I'll take them to my neighbor at the old Original Custom site for modeling in solid works. Then we can have a dozen or so of each made and make them available! Cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Then we can all be Stylin' like TBlizz and Erc! Garvey lights all around!

Rob,
I think Jeff Bowlsby really wants one on his LE and a Red Fog Lamp would really look good on Pete Stout's Red 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Just pushing the envelope of Kool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

OK, who has the drill bit, who has the extra wires, and who can distract Pete and Jeff?

Jeff only lives a couple mile away. I can go there and drill holes in all his cars. This might looks good on his 928 too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Got a package from Tom today. A lot quicker than we expected. He thought it would arrive by Tuesday which would have held things up considerably since I return for my 1 week at work on Monday...

I will be meeting with the race car shop guy who occupies the old Original Customs site in our industrial complex on Monday if he is there. Then we can get some of these reproduced... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE(ConeDodger @ Oct 3 2016, 06:21 PM) *

Ok, I'm back on the Euro Rear Fog Light which we have affectionately dubbed the "Garvey Light" after Pat Garvey who objects vehemently to anything that didn't come on the car as new. Pat has the original air in his tires I'm told! We love you Pat! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

So, the mounts are the main problem when you decide to add the Factory Rear Fog Light. If you search the subject you'll find discussion of the outer being available but the inner NLA. Well, the discussion is from 2007-8 so none are available from Porsche anymore. The lights themselves are available through Just Kampers in the UK and the wiring harness can be had by contacting Jeff Bowlsby.

Here are Tom Blizznik's project drawings. Tom supplied me with the light and the outer mount. I am going to have a half dozen of the outer mounts reproduced and a half dozen + 1 (for me) of the inner mounts produced. The extras will be available through PMB Performance once they are done.

The question is, is a half dozen of each mount going to be enough? How much interest is there in this


I can volunteer a never installed ORIGINAL FACTORY REAR FOGLIGHT including the 2 metal pieces (no bolts), the rear fog light (with bulb), and a factory issued wiring harness.
I have yet to determine once and for all what switch is used and where is the switch located. Another subject to ponder.
