...new at offering anything on this website.
But as I go through my restoration, I have had to have several things remanufactured, machined, or re-fabricated when they are no longer available.
These particular items are not available from any sources that I can find.

1. bearing bracket bushings, (4), used on 914 750 165 10 and 914 750 271 10.
2. 914 750 189 10, bearing sleeve, (4), used on headlight motor push rod.
3. pivot pin, (2), used on push rod, 914 750 185 11, left and right side.

The material used on items 1 & 2 above is a black acetal resin (Delrin), the original was white.

The material used on item 3 is bronze. I increased the root diameter of the threaded portion using a .250-28UNF-3A thread instead of a M6 Thread.
I also increased the diameter of the thread relief just before the bearing surface that interfaces with the headlight mounting assembly.
(When the M6 nut works it way loose, the part fails forward of the bearing surface on the narrow root diameter of the thread, then the headlight assembly imperceptively flops, but most notible, the headlight doesn't sit flush with the curve of the front trunk lid).

The vendor cost of item 1, (4) is $ 8.00 a piece, 4*8=$ 32.00.
The vendor cost of item 2, (4) is $ 8.00 a piece, 4*8=$ 32.00.
The vendor cost of item 3, (2) is $20.00 a piece, 2*20.00= $ 40.00.
(considering the size and weight, or lack there of, shipping is included).

This is just what I paid for a one off deal. I'm sure the costs will drop with quantities.


Anyone can leave me a personal msg or reply to this thread.
