How about
- an actual small scale model of the car itself - like the chocolate ones.

- 5 bolt style hubcap center adapter for the factory 4 bolt Fuchs
Would sit between the hubcap and the wheel to give a slight
outward extension / add clearence for the front hubs.

Cool ideas -- keep 'em coming.

I'm probably going to make a wood pattern, either on the cnc or manually -- it depends on what I want to make. I wouldn't want to make anything "structural" where you or the car could get f-d up if the part failed (like an engine bar).

Mike: send me the file and I'll take a look...
I like the idea of the center cap for the Fuchs -- that could look cool all polished up or powdercoated!
Weren't the original grills plastic? Why would you want them aluminum -- it would be heavier!
I also thought making little 914 keychain toys might be fun, but it would kinda be a PIA to do, and have them come out nice.

I was going to suggest that as well, thought I was the only one goofy enough to want one (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Shift knob with 914 logo.......of course, if you left your top off in the sun it would be more of a branding iron than a shift knob. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Center caps.....yeah, center caps. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

If some one sends me either a solid file, a sketch, or the actual part of the horn/light grills I'll take a look and see if I can do them. My teener is not available, and my grills were only horn, not fog light/horn grills.

Sweet. I will peruse my pics I have on file. Thats the best I can do. My poor grills would not be suitable for display on this site (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)

I found nothing dammit! However (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) ...I did find some nice pics on the Pelican catalog. I have mine in storage, so maybe I will take some pics and post several angles and take some measurements.


Anyone have a sacrificial one they can send in for the cause???? Then you can take a straight cast.

In Missouri it does....that's why I keep my beer in a cooler (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (okay.....beer cans aren't "cast" aluminum until they're empty! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) )
