As I mention later in the Thread brad Mayer had mentioned these may be no longer available in the future, that's why I took these on. I'm making these out of a more durable silicone, so these should last longer.

These should be ready to ship in January.

Let me know if you need any.

Damn I should have known that, mine is still there.
Mikey914
Wow that was quick.
I started the tooling on these, and will have them in about 4 weeks. Just working out the pricing now. Should be about $3.85 a pop. Really need to sell 100 sets to make it pencil out.

Brad Mayer came to me and said the supply has dried up and wanted to know if I'd make them for him. SO .. I started the tooling. These will also be made from a more durable silicone.

Not trying to rain on the parade, I was just thinking you were into NLA things. 911.025.612.00. Carry on. biggrin.gif

Now a bigger ? is how many cars actually still have these attached?
Im guessing very few.
But the LE does smile.gif

They're also found in some early 911/912 headlight buckets ...

where do they go exactly? anybody have a picture?
Mikey914
I was unable to locate the part in the 914 diagram either, so I couldn't find a part number. I trusted Brad knows what's up with these, so started the tooling.

And possibly these are drying up.


I try to get a jump on some of the stuff I have in the works as the product production takes 8-12 weeks. these are 4 weeks in with the tooling being produced now, I should be able to pull 1st articles in the next 10 days or so. So I started the thread to get these out there. With the tax laws potentially changing I needed to throw more cash at tooling as tooling will not be able to be directly written off, it will have to go on a schedule.

Anyhow these are comming. the good news is they are less expensive, and will be silicone, so they should outlast the OEMs.

Mark, I'm in for the 3-4 of these required at the front trunk + a couple of spares. I think I've only found 1 or 2 NOS ones so far online.

Also, I'm going to PM or email you on another possible product for you for Vanagons a bit later today/tonight.

Thanx for doing these! beerchug.gif

Let us know when they are available. One of my originals is broken off, and I would replace all on my 73, I believe I need 3? I'll count when I next take the winter cover off.

2 needed for the 914, in the front trunk. The two holes they fit are self-evident. They were also used on the 356s and 911s

Heavy rain during parade = even greater need for frunk drainage. Go, Mark! piratenanner.gif

Yep, in one of those little plastic bags with the barcode sticker with the German and all that. I love that stuff. The only disappointment so far ordering rubber from George for me has been side marker boots, the chinese oem ones look suspect to me.

This isn't the thread to go in that direction, though. Pelican has the drain things, too I think.

Only one on mine unless I missed something or - maybe I cut it out with the cooler area?

Guess what these are! and where they go.

These are underway and I'll have them in about 3-4 weeks.


Mikey914

Mark,
I'll take four when they're ready.

Rather have them in sili than rubber.

Thanks Pat,
The silicone will be more durable too.

Just counted up what I need ... and the number is 10
RFoulds
I will take one dozen. Let me know when you need payment. Oly Blue had them in place, and they were perfect. Willow Green has one, and the other projects have none. Might as well stockpile.
mepstein
I'll take 10. Thanks, Mark
Mikey914
Thanks guys,
I appreciate the support.


To make these and sell at a reasonable price, I really need quantity and the cost to set up and make these is a significant investment.

Hi Mark

I'll join the parade.

Can you put me down for 6....and I have to sort out/order some other items as well, will send an email.

Thanks
Paul
mharmon
I'll take a dozen
jim_hoyland
I'll put in an order; just gotta count the holes.... smile.gif And, thanks for making another new part for the 914s.
BKLA
I'll take four - thinking about adding 2 of them to the rear truck - one each below the tail lights. Even with new light seals, I still get water in there!
pete000
What a funny looking thing !

Mine is long gone. I will take 2

Are they on all years?
bigkensteele
I will take 4. I like the trunk idea as well.
Bullethead
Great idea to make them in silicone, Mark. I'll take a dozen... you'll tag us when you're ready for payment?
strawman
I am in for four. Thanks!

You can use them for a duck call too laugh.gif

All years, have them. A total of three (3) - two up front and one at the rear.
