Guys if you look at the timeline of this thread it shows you how long it takes to get an idea on paper to product. Plus the fact that this is not just a simple part.
Lots of time and money invested from any member who builds a product like this for us.

Thanks Mark for doing this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Yes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I want peeps who are a bit on the impatient side to realize that these products don't just magically appear.

It takes time to plan, prototype, test, fix issues, 2nd prototype, test, fix issues, rinse repeat, finally put into production, then assemble before a product is ready for prime time.

Just knowing the need for critical parts such as the master cylinder AND knowing how Mikey has developed parts in the past everything done will provide a great part. I would take pride in knowing that A UNITED STATES PART PRODUCTION was on my car.

The development appears a lot like how we restore our cars. We expect to complete our cars in 1-2 years; several years we are still working on them and they have developed a reputation of being "jack stand" zombies. This is not the case in what Mikey is trying to do; he has been constantly working, searching, adjusting, etc to bring a new complex product to market for our needs. He has put up with a bad factory builder situation and has changed in mid-stream to move ahead. A lot of "cheer and encouragement" goes to Mikey for pursuing this part development.

What is being done is going to be better the URO parts. 1000 fold better.

If Mikey is doing it, it will be done right; quality, and function will be there.

There is an old tv commercial regarding a kid called "Mikey". This situation reminds me of the saying, "Where is Mikey??? Mikey is out playing with new parts development. Therefore, let Mikey do it!!". I have the highest respect for all his parts he has developed in the past; they are on my 12 year 914 restoration.

Without all our suppliers/manufacturers/developers we could not have supported/restored so many of our 914s that are on the road. They would still be resting on jack stands.

Thanks, Mikey and the rest of our suppliers for taking on large tasks such as this one and getting them completed.

Good news is these have been completely made - All parts are done. We have assembled one and set to an independent party for verification of fitment and some testing.

We've been a little quite about these lately as we want to do these right.

With that being said not all part are 100% US. We were able to source some spring clips and a few other parts. We were happy with the performance, or we would not have proceeded. I wanted to disclose that we did do this, but we unlike the name we shall not mention are actually committed to QC on these parts.

We anticipate word in the next 10 days or so, then full production to follow!!!

Like I said earlier. "Let Mikey do it!". This also means giving credit to all the others who supported and were involved in getting this job done. There is always a little outsourcing but the focus was US made.
