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 - I don’t think anyone said overpriced. 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.

Pete your parts are absolutely the best product out there and are not overpriced.. And trust me I have no beef with you either..

My goal is to provide a turn key conversion package and this is one of the last pieces to the puzzle.

In fact would love to carry your sets as a better option for my customers if you would be willing?

I would consider my sets to like going to an aldis or maybe costco versus a nice quality food market..

I too have a need for /6 tin.
Haven't researched what I need for my conversion yet but I'm sure I need some if not all of this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)
