Bump, Thanks Rob for making this happen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Once you have the interior bracket drilling & position is a piece of cake.

Yes, that mounting bracket is for a 911. I don't have a 911 photo. On 911's it's mounted under the rear bumper somewhere in line with the rear wheel. Kind of a weird place to put it, not like our 914's above the bumper. Should be worth $$ something with the 911 guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Tom |

Thank you for the confirmation. I'll put it on Pelican, and see if anyone needs it...

Rob, please add me to the list. After seeing this thread, I went to the stash to check the one I purchased about 2 yrs ago. It looks like I have the correct light, but the mounting bracket must be from an early 911. Holy crap! That's the even more rare 911 mount! Clean that up and let the RGruppe guys sniff around it and you'll score some cash. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) |

Thank you Rob and Rgalla9146. I'll bring it to the Phoenix Club swap meet in March, and see if one of those taildragger guys is interested..

Isn't the 914 rear fog light itself supposed to have a chrome body?

Well, we have news. I really appreciate you guys who were willing to step up when these were going to big money. McMark found us a source that is willing to make them much cheaper. We will see how this plays out, but it looks like we might be able to get these these two parts made and shipped to your door for $20 or less.
The outer piece may be a bit different, so I have to make sure it's acceptable. I'll let you all know when I know more! |

I want a set. Sent to Sweden. Is it 125 USD with the foglight? I just want the bracket. Niklas No, that was the quote I was given for just the two brackets. This will change with the new source. So did I miss the new price on the bracket kit? or is it still $125? |

It doesn't include the fasteners, foglight, or harness. If you're the guy from Sweden, it would be + actual shipping. |
