I have all the drawings done and ready to start making sets. Who needs a set? Retail is going to be in the 500 range group buy prices will be less but how much less depends on how many buyers.
Who is interested? Please note these are going to similar to the gpr sets not as nice as the RD sets thus priced much less. |

That's a great price Ben - good on you for providing a lower cost option to the very nice but very pricey RD tins

That's a great price Ben - good on you for providing a lower cost option to the very nice but very pricey RD tins Sorry for the highjack, but I can not hold my tongue. In my opinion our tins are not overpriced. You obviously have no idea what it takes to produce these parts for our 914's. Five dies costing well over 10k each is why I can't sell a set for $400. Its this kind of attitude that deters me from making more 914 panels. Ben, sorry for the rant. I have no beef with you making your own product. Pete |

Pricey but there certainly is a cost to making factory spec parts. Not even that pricy when you see what oem tin sells for. Ben’s are not the right part for a factory 6. Yours are not the right part if someone needs to modify tin to install a 3.6. There is no question that we all appreciate you making parts for our cars. |
