The rears don't have the metal bushing insert, nor are they marked "L" or "R"

The metal bushing could be put in before they are formed, but I can't see a need for it.

The front one is softer than the original, but should hold well and won't mark the top when it's in place.

Both front and rears can be made in the following colours:

Brown
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Violet
Black

The ones shown are in Blue (but they look black to me)

The samples will be sent to the beta tester Monday (USPS).

Cost.....he's not sure, but around $7 per (for Club Members) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Bruce,

Bring 'em on! I'm in for a set or two. The currently available rubber rear hold downs are not worth a crap. I've had three break in the last few years, after the originals lasted for years.

By the way, what is the preferred way of mounting the front clips? Rivets (per the original) or nuts and bolts? I have a boken one with a pair of new white nylon on standby.

My fronts (in my cars) use bolts...10mm if I remember correctly.

Wait till the beta testers have a chance to look at them before ordering. I think they are great, but I want a independant voice to say yea or nay. That way I'll be sure everyone is happy with what they get.

You can still post here if your interested in them so I have an idea how many he will have to make. When I'm sure it's a done deal I'll post the payment/shipping details ect.

The fact that you can get them in different colors is great! A sample of each color, though, would be nice. I like the all-black set (black goes with anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ).

Even though mine are OK, I'd be in for a set.

I'll tell Mike...I'll bet he'll want a dozen sets or more.

Let me know when you start taking orders.

GWN7,
I'm in for a red set. Make sure you post in "914 Resources, Parts and Products" once you have prices and details.
Thanks for making these! What's next? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

There was some discussion about metal foglight grills a few months ago.... someone with a CNC machine was going to look into that.......if not, I know a guy with a metal casting forge who could make them and then have them chromed.

Mabey we should have a NLA thread......wasn't there a type of front spoiler/dam that was hard to non existant to find? I'm sure with a sample of the proper spoiler/dam, the guy who is doing the trunk pieces could make those.

Last time a 914 pillow was up on Ebay I quit bidding when it reached $100. It went for $171 Those would be nice, but you would need to reverse enginer those. A 914 Club pillow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

WTF is a

914 pillow
and why did someone pay 171 for it?

NLA thread

Good one, I have some ideas but need to do more research on tooling...

Since you are connected to plastic manufacturing, how about Saratoga top repros. I hear those go for over $1000.
