I posted this in the other thread, but since this is the "official thread", I thought I would re-post my offering.

For those that don't want to perform the surgery involved with assembling these kits, but would want one of these cool tripple gauges, I am offering to assemble the kit (using components supplied by you) for a small fee or trade of parts. The components required are:

1. The kit
2. 914 "combo" Fuel Gauge
3. 911 "combo" Temp/Pressure Gauge

The kits are not overly difficult to assemble, but they take time and patience to look nice.

I have not done the re-screening of the temp and pressure gauge faces (as shown in the Pelican Parts pic above), but may attempt it as I have a few ideas on how to economically do this.

PM or Email me for details.

John

In the "official" thread, I'd like a silver button please.

Also, I need a 911 combo gauge too. Any particular year 911 gauge I should look for?

Thanks,
Joe

Stop the sniffeling and step up to the plate if you want one.


Damn, whats up with the attitude? I was just asking what the change in pricing was all about. I wasn't "sniffeling" nor do I appreciate the accusation. If I posted that something would be one price and then posted that I would have to raise that price 50%, I would give a reason out of courtesy. I am sure that the price they decide on will be fair. I was just wondering about what caused the price change.

Since I wrote the original post (Not Aaron) with pricing it was an estimate of where I was shotting for. But I asked if somebody wanted to take this project over, it is not a good time for me to do these. Aaron steps up to the plate and builds a kit that people wanted - BTW the Bird sold them at $150 4-5 years ago. Aaron's cost of living and manufacturing is higher in California, than I being in Ohio. The point is Aaron needs to make his $1 for doing these - trust me he will not retire rich from doing these, it just does not happen.

Aaron rock on

And thank you for pulling these together when I could not.

Heir Dr. Sorry if the posts got confusing, but life changes and things come up. Aaron is now the supplier and I am a a simple customer just like you. He sets the prices and I am sure he is not trying to gouge anyone.

914forme, thanks for the info. I was just curious, nothing else. I too make things for people and wonder what things cause prices to fluctuate. Considering that the aluminum bezels are $150 for a set, $150 for this kit is still a deal, no doubt. Thanks for stepping up on this Aaron. I would like one with the button hole, please (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)

I bought the last kit from PP a few years ago and have artwork for the reorientation of the combo gauge faces. I will gladly donate a copy to you for the project. This is a greatly needed detail that the kit lacks and most don't realize its importance at first glimpse.

Aaron: How many kits are being made in this first lot (x, 25, y, 50, z)?

Fantastic! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) I didn't know how I was going to manage that. Good thinking!


BTW: In case I haven't mentioned it, Thanks Aaron for doing this. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)
