I was lucky enough to have a sample kit sent to me for evaluation. Well done all around! Great instructions

Carrie,
What kits will you have first? What's the price? Would be interested in a lock hardware kit if available.

Dave

It's on the list. I'm trying to find a new/nla/unmolested clamping screw for that. P/N: 914 559 011 10 if anyone wants to donate one to good cause.

General reply to all: I really don't want to spoil the surprise anymore than I have. I'm waiting on my other reviewer to get their sample and form thoughts about it.

If all goes well, I plan on having different reviewers for each kit. 1 for replica and 1 for stainless. The reviewers tell me what they think and if it works on the car.

Also, I need vic Volunteers to help develop kits for the -6's. The hardware is different and for the most part completely NLA on many areas of the car.

Good afternoon Carrie,

Put me on "A list" or "The list" for the Interior kit (73) and SS Engine kit (73' 2.0).

Cool

For your information, I have to get one piece reproduced for the Interior kit and a few more I don't have are NLA. They may be on my Dad's car, but don't hold me to it. If you want the plugs, I'll need to find some copies and have them reproduced.

What do you think an Engine Kit should contain?

Well, here is the factory "6" that I need a kit for..

And here is the 74 914-6GT clone..

Oh, I would think;

tin screws
heater tube screws
coil hold down screws (don't know real name)
Fuel injector nuts
engine to Trans nuts and bolts

I'm probably missing alot of things but the basic screws, nuts and bolts inside the engine bay.

you let me know what your thinking and what your price is.

Thanks again Carrie!

Hello!

Here is the original list what you need for your 914.
It is from the original cataloge from porsche.

Thanks, Niklas!

I had a lot of fun translating the pages. My only question, is do have anymore of the catalog?

Awesome 1st Group Buy on the Lock Kit!

I thought I would share before the World is down. My Next Kit (more like several...) will be targeting the doors and essentially providing all new hardware to complement the reproduction pieces made Mikey914 and morph (914AP.com).

914/6 crowd-Yes, this includes you.

Food for thought while the World is down.

Yes, I will be doing Group Buys at Special Prices.

I'm working on other kits at the moment.

Sneak peek:

Door kit Early Replica & SS

Door kit Late Replica & SS

Door Hinge kit Replica & SS



Don't forget to review on the Lock Kits!

Question to All:

Would you like window cranks in your hardware kits? I can get the correct Early style chrome that went on 70-72 6's & 4's, the but ugly one's that went on 74ish-76 and even the skinny textured ones.

Of course, the price for the kit would be higher because of the window cranks. If anyone is interested I'd be willing to put together a few test kits. You'd also get the 'desk pads'.

How about a rocker panel kit? I installed fiberglass rocker panels years ago and when I jacked up the car I noticed all the screws or bolts were missing....just trying to give an idea....I guess I could probably buy them at the local hardware store but it would be nice to help out fellow 914 vendors.

It's on the list.

Brand new hardware correctly zinc'd. I got it done at the last place in the Eastern part of the State. Now, I get to sort it.

PS: Yes, they do other stuff.

Right, I need a few good people with either a 75 or 76 to measure the hardware for the fog lights. To sweeten the pot, I'll send (1) hardware kit to each of the (2) people who help me.

They get the choice of a lock kit (SS or Replica), Late Door Kit (SS or Replica), Engine Dress Kit (SS or Replica) or wait for the kit that will have the fog light hardware.

If you're willing to help PM me.

What I need (of all the hardware):

Diameter
Length
Head type
Threads per inch (if possible)
If possible measure the gasket ID and OD where the harness comes out of the body

You'll need:

The foglights with hardware
Patience
Hand tools
Digital Caliper ->Or go buy the Harbor freight bolt/screw gauge
Ruler (for threads per inch)
Camera

Links on how to measure:

Measure Length

Measure Diameter

Threads per inch

Screw head types

Eng Dress kits done, some of the Early Door kits are done, Late door kits will probably take a week or two.

I got a request from Brad yesterday (MUSR) to supply a specific kit, so I'll be working on that.

I have started a website, but I haven't gone through and done the final QC. I will make it available after I do that.

I'm going to start a poll gauging the interest in supplying the correct early chrome window cranks for all years and supplying the late door panel clips for all years due to the feedback I got yesterday.

I'm so tired. I got 3 hours of sleep before we left for MUSR 12.

Edited out.

For all the newbies that have joined.

I'm working with one of the member's here to offer all my hardware to members here in Oklahoma.

Here is my website: 914Central, LLC

I'm working on a new kit now. It's for the Clutch/Pressure Plate, throwout arm and bearing. The Bolts are correct. The dimensions were measured off NOS Porsche bolts that I bought and I'm including locking nuts as an upgrade. Plain nuts just don't cut it in their application. Original Yellow Plate all around.

If there is interest, I can buy ARP Stainless Steel bolts made in America that are equivalent in strength to 10.9 according to manufacturer. The catch is; they are expensive even at a wholesale price. I am thinking of using these bolts for the front and rear suspension. This may require Pre-Ordering/Pre-Pay setup. If I go this way I would need a pre-paid commitment of at least 10 kits. But Made in USA high strength Stainless Steel bolts, maybe worth it.

I do take requests on all kits and individual hardware. If you have upgrade(s) or modifications on the hardware, I will listen gladly.

Here's another update. I won't be able to make Hershey this year.
No transportation for kits, myself and purchased goodies.

I have 13?14? Hardware Kits made/available. The latest group buy is here: GB
You can purchase my other kits from 914central.com.

If you have purchased a kit, you can fill out the customer survey form while you're there. My hardware is available for purchase 24/7 on my website.

Here is an example of the future 914/6 & 914/4 Bumper Kit.

The kit would contain the bumper bracket hardware, the bumper tit hardware and the rubber top hardware. At this point, I don't know if I want to add the valance hardware in or not. The kit would contain the parts list & instructions too.

A Stainless duplicate is up in the air.

Please note: The bolt plate color depth varies greatly by manufacturer. This is a very deep color example.

You still doing hardware kits???

I need a complete kit.

You might want to PM Carrie. IIRC, she got the Slap Down treatment from a couple of members, here.

Why?????

I have nothing nice to say so I won't say anything other than what I just said.
