Well they will not fit in the same box, but, they can arrive together. The production on these will begin late this next week. I'm working on the blocks that these mount with, we are trying to make the mounts a stainless stud with a rubber isolator.

We will start sending out PMs this next week notifying those that were interested they are in production.

They look great ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .......... how do they attach to the bumper? Do you just drill the bottom flange and put some bolts in there?

These will mount just like the OEM tops. They will simply "bolt on". No drilling required.

And yes it's not too late to get in on these. I just need to confirm production schedule before I take money. I anticipate that these will be in full swing in about a week.

The backs will have solid blocks with stainless studs, I will be putting a rubber isolator on the base to avoid damage to the bumper. I'll post pictures later in the week.
But honestly, as long as it's a solid mount and it will not damage the bumper, how the back looks is really not a issue as it's not cosmetic.

mikey i am going to order a set but now you are trying rubber look ones i don't know what ones to get - can you post some pictures before i make my mind up.
The original ones looked great but the rubbery ones might look even better !
If you do post pictures can you bolt one to a bumper so we can see one in situ.
i'm going to have to get some dog bones and drill some holes as my 914 is a US 1975 with the shocks and that heavy girder in them.

Hello Mike

Check's in the mail.

More stuff to order, but it will be a while, I'm putting the trailing arms back right now. Got the big front targa seal a while back, did a test fitting and it looked nice. I really appreciate the parts you are making, makes the rustoration a lot easier, and I doubt you are making Mitt Romney money with these projects.

Thanks
Olin

Actually I'm reinvesting about every dime I make on more new stuff. I have some cash intensive projects that will be comming out in the next few months.
