I'm going to trace out the liners today and get the tracings off to mikey. Looks like we'll finally have these available again.

I have located a suitable material and I've ordered it in, I will still need to do some work on my end, but there is some progress.

I remember these.
I'd given up hope I'd ever get a set.
Glad they're going back into production.

Put me down for a set. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

PS, I hope they fit well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Mikey if you are going to make these parts you should look into 3d printers, they are getting cheaper and will print out these in seconds with many options on materials even metals, just need the file

A liner for fiberglass flares is almost a must have to prevent spyder cracks. On race cars , I'd to glue a sheet of rubber to the undersides.

The 3D priniters are pretty good, and I do have access to one, I have found for production that they are very expensive for the volume I would require. Waterjet is very fast and efficient for cutting s commercially available material. Raw componet costs and consumables really are another decididng factor.

A few points,

these were designed and sold by Jerome Jay Mikesell in Chicago. In fact my car I bought from him. Some people had issues with Jay but I never did, I thought he was a nice bloke, YMMV.

When I bought my car he suggested that I buy some whell well liners. The fit great and I used them until i started my resto, did not mean it saved my car from rot but it did help. I will see if I have any pictures.

I am not sure what the deal is with copyright etc in the US. But I assume that you are on top of this. I still have one of his original adverts.

Mark and all, For some reason the 914 universe is aligning.
Sorry to say I did not read the thread, too many (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) but I was just thinking two days ago, as I was cleaning gravel and rocks out of my fender wells, " I need to close these wells off"
So low and behold you guys gome up with what I was thinking....
I'm in... Let me know when they are ready

P.S. Mark, I met one of your fellow crew members yesterday, Inez, says she knows you well. You are a great guy!! I agreed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Keep up the good work

Inez is a sweety, a lot of fun to hang with.

I have finished the programming on these and just need to get some material in. I'm back in late Tue so I can hopefully do some proving and get these moving. The pricing at $75 is close, the materials cost may change it by about $10, I'm working that out on Monday. I'll be posting on these soon. Just wanted to up date this as I have too many projects open, but each one is getting some attention.

I'm probably in for a set...these will reduce cabin noise, and reducing cabin noise increases the "WAF" (wife acceptance factor).

Yes the reason I'm thinking about these is the WAF.
The programming is done, I'll be cutting within the week and test fitting to my car. I'll post pictures a soon as I have them installed.

I'm good for two sets right off the bat.
Four in total.

If you need a place to test and fit without laying on the ground.
I have a car siting on my two lift in Forest Grove.

I'm going to have these on my car for the drive down to WCR as the wife will be with me. I'll have installed pictures tomorrow as the weather should be good.

These were sold through Partswerks in Chicago back when. JayMiksell, the owner, was quite a character and I'll leave it at that. We had a good relationship, but many others had issues with him. Long gone, but nice to see his idea's still around.

I gave a set to Jim Hoyland to check the fit. I haven't heard anything back yet. I do have another set I can send out if someone has some time to check the fit on these. PM me.
