Definitely in. I have NOS clam shells you can scan if you want. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)


Mark De Bernardi,

Can you help Mark out with your NOS set of clam shells? I don't have a set to contribute or I would.

PM sent to McMark.

Thanks,

Greg

Just as a reference to expand your reach with the clamshell project.
There are two distinct tops and two distinct bottoms that will cover both 914 6
and 911 (1969 - 1973 )
Can provide pics here or to your email.

it's these ones we want re-producing (ignore the 'eyebrow' or 'fillet' pieces as these are readily available, unless Mark wants to do these as well):

Yes, those are the ones that we want re-produced for 914 6 cars.
I was suggesting to Mark that there is certainly a ( large ) market for the 911 version as well. When tooling up for anything it is often easy to produce a second version to satisfy a larger market. There are many more 911s than 914 6s
A second cavity for injection molding can often be produced for a fraction of the cost of the first.

Depending on the volume we can do cast pieces pretty effectively.
Obviously if the demand is there we can do hard tooling. This way, if I only sell 25 sets, I don't have 5000 pieces sitting on my shelf.

I'm in for several sets and I think others have indicated they are too. I may be wrong but I believe there is a huge demand for the clam shells and the surrounds if done to replicate the factory parts in quality. Your audience isn't just the US. And having access to the correct parts helps those who are doing conversions.

Have said that, I will defer to your judgment as to how to proceed.

Thanks, Mark.

McMark is sending the clamshels. I still need the bases to cast them.

Yes the ignition surround I can do, again a sample helps, but will both need for more than 6 weeks.

Restoration design is in the process of making the metal ignition dash piece.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I made Pete do that. Gave him a deal on an FI system to give him some motivation. Sent the sample I cast off a real six dash.

What are the 'bases' you refer to?

I'll have a better idea once I have these in hand. But the small parts about 4 weeks and the large may be 6 weeks because of the imbedded metal.
But these are from the thim I get the parts.

Looks like Stoddard already has 'em.

Those are the 911 version. The 914/6 is different.
