before I go through with making this, what is your opinion? How many of you would need this and or purchase one for 35.00. Of course we all know that it came with the original 914 tool kit so is necessary for the concours presentation, but making it is expensive believe it or not and it has to be plated gold (original rusty tool kit!! (LOL)

George..
$35 is a reasonable price for one....heck used crappy ones sometimes sell for more. What's with the screw packet....is that original or just someone placing extras in their kit. |

looked at making these at one time, if you do they need to be forged to handle the load. Unless it's a cosmetic part (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Unless it's a cosmetic part (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Even the originals tend to bend like a piece of lead if used. Don't put any side load on them.

porsche finally got it right.. What's the thread on that? Will it fit our cars? I wouldn't mind having one I could actually use to compliment my nicely re-plated "show" piece. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) BTW George, if I didn't already have a nice looking tow eye, I wouldn't hesitate to pay $35 for a good replica. |

hah - i have maybe 6 or 8 of those - would be happy to get $35 ea + ship obo (1) fwiw - scca & maybe other venues require a 2" loop - easier to quickly fit a rope or hook into at trackside - so i just welded 2" steel rings to metric grade 8 bolts - |
