Yes, I've been working on these for awhile. The fist ones were copies of the best I could find, and not as good as OEM, I made then as cast molds using catalyzed rubber. Sometimes it didn't flow all the way as the pressure required to make these meant that I wound up throwing out about 1/2 of the ones I made. I cheated the formulation to make it flow better and found that didn't work as well.

The only choice was aluminum tooling. It can take the pressure and allow for using a compound that flows and and looks correct.

Well I finally did it. I actually improved the little skinny part on the back edge of the seal so that it actually fills the little void in the indentation on the inside of the door. This is something the OEM current version does, but it's a little loose.

So below is a picture of the OEM and one of my seals. Guess which one is mine.

I'm posting in larger files so you can zoom in on the details.

This is one of the big projects I've been trying to get off my plate for about 18 months.

Those look perfect. I'm in!

Inside, inside, top and right are mine.

Do I have to???

3 sets for me.

Early and late the same?

I'm in for one set, early.

Nice.

Wow......very cool....I am in for set Mark.

How do you have time to make all these killer parts???

I still have a set of your last batch that I have not even installed yet...

Let me put those on my car and then I can order the replacements.

John

These are awesome Mark! I've been waiting for these to come down in price a little before ordering a set. They'll be on my next round of goodies to order from you for sure. Thanks for all of your hard work.

I'm in for one set

I'll take a set.

I'm in for a set

Early and late are the same.

These are the tip of the iceburg. I'm doing a ton of stuff for Stoddard too!
It's how I have been able to afford to make the tooling for this and more new stuff.

+1 SET..
I will maybe soon have doors worthy of putting these in?

Thanks, Mark...

Seriously Awesome! I wish I could be a fraction as good of a vendor as you! I will probably be ordering a bit here in the next couple months to finally, hopefully get my own 914 on the road =)

Heck I need a set of these also !!!

Mark,

As always thanks for making parts like this - the community appreciates it.

I am in for one set in the group buy - cheers!

Hella dope! I'll take two sets.

One set please. . Thanks Mark

Hi will take a set.
Bruce

Mark,

I'm in for one set as well.

Any chance I can combine with some other seals I need? I can get a list together.

If not, no biggie, I still definitely want one set.

thx, Turk

I'll take a pair.

After a good external fit is acheived, my biggest concern is that the glass will sit deep enough that the top cap isn't deformed, causing a leak point.

I m in for a set.
Great work.
Thanks

Mark - still waiting!!!!!
Pat

I'm in for a set

I'm in.

One set please.

Kelvin

Yes Pat,
Your name came up the other day. I still have the files, just need to make tooling.

Well, after Chris's response I decided to do the install on a car not just a door. With all the parts in it. I did forget how much fun this was last time.

All this working at night I should change my company name to midnight auto supply?????

Actually I did find that the dimensions are spot on. The issue Chris brought up, isn't a problem on mine. The biggest problem is trying to wrangle the seal and bar into place without having it creep up on the bar. Well I found a good way to do it.

It's late and dark and I'm taking pictures with a flashlight in my mouth as the flash on the camera is creating glare and making it look fuzzy, but these are the best pics I can get right now.

I do plan on doing a full write up in a few weeks. These will be ready in about 18 days so sometime before I start shipping. But these do look good installed.

I recently replaced an old tattered one on the 'BB' that had been bugging me for years (passenger side), so I think I'm OK there ... need to check my wife's car next. Will probably order a pair as her car will be getting all new rubber everywhere else during the restoration.

You never cease to amaze us with your new bringings, Mark

I want 6 sets.

Thanks guys looks like 22 sets so far.

I counted 29 sets (not including: cool, nice, do I have to?, next time, and maybe)

add me to the list for one set.

I'm in for one set, probably some other seals as well...but we'll discuss what I need when it's time to order/pay.

I will need 2 sets, let me know when and how to pay.
Jule

I will take a set.
thanks for doing this!!

As soon as I have the parts in full production I'll start taking the cash. Should be about a week before I have the material in and a few days before I can process it, so I'd say about 12 days.
Mark

I'm in for a set.

put me down for a set (1975)

I will take a set

Thanks

David
