Ok Mikey....(Mark).....I bought the GB shift package out of catastrophic need and my car has never shifted better so I understand the physics of having new shift bushings vs. no shift bushings (knuckle at firewall). Please explain to me why I bought the GB new relays besides your exceptional sales skills? I must have 20 or more original relays in the parts box but I just had to have the new ones you are making. Besides being put into a trance of first come first served, please explain slowly and in short words why these relays are superior to the originals. I am glad I am getting them but I don't really know why I am so happy. Please explain.....thank you very much.
All the best always and thank you,

You know, your post reminds me that this thread got me to thinking I need to build an "on the road" parts stash in the car like I used to have. Some extra relays and fuses, a clutch clevis, a clutch cable (goes nicely under the rear trunk carpet), a fan belt and the tools to change it, and maybe a few more items. Used to carry a lot of that stuff before I pulled the car apart for paint—and then converted it to a -6.

So Mikey's GB thread for these relays served as a good reminder of another kind…

When I think about the cost of Chris' (very attractive) pickup point relocation kit...


@horizontally-opposed

Hmm... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I wonder if that would help my clearance issue running 205/55R16 tires on 5-lug 16-inch Fuchs.

Got a link?

Thanks.



Yep yep!

This is EXACTLY why I bought a set - I'm putting together just the sort of kit you're talking about.

We have actually re engineered these ( not just tried to copy a factory part ). They should be at least as robust as the factory part.
That and we are actually testing our parts unlike some vendors.
That’s really the simplest answer.


The support of the community is what allows us to do what we do, so when we did the banner add we decided on the graphic of the car being supported by the members crowd surfing.

Thank you for your reply Mark. After re-reading your initial description my questions were answered. You know us 914 guys love details and specs. Anyway, Is there really a difference between the fuel pump relay and the rest? Do tell? Thank you very much.

Yes huger difference.....The Fuel pump relays are RED (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No, only color as we engineered to the higher spec. Would have actually cost us more to make 2 flavors, and they should hold up much better under the lower load.

Funny how my passenger side headlight did not go up this morning?? After driving a while the road vibration must have loosened it up and it started working again. Having new relays vs. 50 year old relays does make sense, eh? Glad I made the cut off.....
All the best always,

The OE 911 fuel pump relays were red and made to carry more current than the standard black relays.
I don't remember what year 911s got the red fuel pump relays, it may have been when they introduced the CIS fuel injection.
The stock 914 fuel pump relay was a standard black relay.

I don't recall the amperage rating for either the standard black relay or the higher rated red relay.

I also have some white relays that were in my 72 when I got it.
I don't recall seeing white relays before.

I was looking to get some red relays to carry extra load for some accessory circuits I plan to add.
Now that Mark says his new black relays are engineered to meet the higher load of the red relays I don't need the red ones. I'll probably get the red ones anyway and use the different to indicate the higher load circuits.

So awesome. Thank you for your work on this project. I don't need any right now, and may have a couple of extras, but I know I will never need these again.

Cheers to you and your team... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The GB is over as we were basically giving these away. But we do have them on the site on sale til the 20th
Black
https://900designs-container.zoeysite.com/b...lectrical-relay

Red
https://900designs-container.zoeysite.com/r...lectrical-relay

By the way we just broke 230,000 cycles on the test bed. That's one of the reasons we can offer you a warranty. We actually test our products.

Old pic buy still going

By the way our goal was 200,000 cycles for these.
