Porsche 914 / 914-6 Service Providers, Companies that specialize in services to help 914 owners. Options

[DennisV]

Inspired by @JeffBowlsby Online Parts Resource post I thought a service supplier thread might be useful too. This list is focused on folks that provide specialized services (i.e. expertise and labor) for things like restoring and refurbishing parts, machine work, rebuilds, etc. It's not meant to cover general service / maintenance shops.

I suspect this list could get unwieldily quick. There are probably a thousand machine shops in the US for example. So I’ll suggest we restrict this list to folks that specialize in 914 / 914-6 or at least air-cooled Porsche.

I’m pivoting from a 356 project to trying to find suppliers for 914-6 related work. I have some great 356 resources, but not all of them will work on other models. So I am back to rebuilding my connections and bookmark list for 914-6 anyway.

Sorry if I overlooked anyone in this initial draft. I will add to it as I get new sources and time allows. Please include a link to the applicable party if you want me to add someone. Feel free to add to the list as replies if I am not responding quick enough.

DISCLAIMER: I can only have firsthand experience with a handful of these companies. I am not vetting the organizations put on this list. Your experience may vary, etc.
