I'd be in for two but only have a driver's side core- passenger side was in bad shape and lost during restoration sad.gif

Check in the classifieds, also GPR had a bunch of cores at one time. Crappy ones should not be too hard to find.

Mark,

One set plus clips. I reside in the underside of the world where we drive on the left hand side of the road so it is OK if the mirror is on the US driver's side.

Will strip cores this weekend and send them to you.

Thanks

David

Is the layout the same? Just curious. If so I'd need to note for the construction.

PS It may be cheaper to buy a set of cores here from someone to ship to me.

Is this a go? It looks like you have way more than 20 interested.

If this is a go, what address do we send our cores to?

How do you want payment?

I would love to get in on this, but I don't have any cores. Anyone have any they'd be willing to sell (I'll post on classifieds as well)
Thanks,
Don
Mikey914
yes, it's a go. I'll forward the info later tonight. Didn't think it would come together so fast.

I can make "naked" if you prefer.

Hey Mark,

do the clips include the middle plastic piece that the visors clip into?
mrbubblehead
2 naked sets for me please....

Yes, stainless steel pins cast into the plastic bases.

Ok,
I have this set up to keep it organized. This is listed in the group buy section on the website. You can get on, and "order" the item "914 visor rebuild service"

http://www.shop.914rubber.com/914-visor-re...e-GB-914VRB.htm

You do not need to pay on the website. What this does is allows you to generate an invoice that you can mail a copy in with your cores and a personal check. You can pay on the website if you wish, if that's easier for you. I will hold the checks until these are ready to be processed. We will start as soon as we get at least 15 sets in. We anticipate 5-8 sets per week can be processed.

To get the clip at the special price you can enter the code I will be PM'ing those that have signed up. You will need to select the clips so they can be included with the visors when we return these. The clips code will not work without the service selected in the cart, so make sure they are on the same invoice.

Thanks again,
I will be holding this group buy open til production has ceased.
Thanks,
Mark

PM's sent to all so far.

I do have what may be a dumb question. do we send the mirror we have with the core or does this include a new mirror? unsure.gif thanks again.
Mikey914
No we are including a new mirror.

Mark,
Just to be sure, do you need the pivot tension screws (or whatever Porsche calls them) included with the cores?

Please hold onto them. We will be using new similar ones, If you send them no problem, but you may not get them back.

I can make them as a left and right, but the screws will be opposite. I can flip one over, but the clamp is set up so it can only be used one way. If you don't mind screws on opposite sides (one up and one down) Yes it can be done.

Hope this helps.

Mark - I am in for 1 set. Thanks, Mark

Out of town until this weekend but will get them out early next week. Have printed out the "order" sheet off your webpage as requested.

Mark,

I don't see where you responded to the up side down mirror flap issue.

I'm in for a set as well. I'll stripping them down to the cores this weekend and then sending them out!

I have one extra set if someone is looking for some

We do have a clearance issue that would require moving the position of the mirror up to accommodate. We will be producing all visors as shown with the exception of the one that has been specified. As it gets more difficult with more options, and more opportunity to have problems any further requests for the flap on the opposite side will cost the same price as these were when we did the last group buy. $125 per set.

When you say "mirror flap orientation" on the site, do you mean left or right or top or bottom flap?

Mark,

In an ealier post, you responded "I'll check with my guy to see if there are any clearance issues, but I don't see it as a problem."

So your guy says there's a clearance issue, and you will not offer the mirror flap oriented in the correct (factory) orientation in this group buy? Just want to be sure I understand correctly. Also, does the "naked" version cost less?

Thanks,

Andys

Looks like this can be fixed by switching the orientation of the small threaded clip. Makes sense to produce one frame and use hardware to determine the proper orientation.

What are cores worth? I think I have one extra, don't know which side without digging it out.

I'll be printing my invoice as soon as I check the condition of my attachment brackets.

I'm short 3 of the screw hold down clips (as pictured above). Mine were so rusted up there not usable. Any suggestions on getting these clips or another way to add a speed nut? confused24.gif

Yes, You will need to check naked, and note you do want the pocket if you do.

I am tryig to round up some cores, but have not seen any come through yet. so I can't say if I will have any until I see them on my doorstep.

SO far

Andys,
We are offering a GB on the format we have produced and have templates for. We are doing so at a price $21 less that the last GB. We can move the mirror up slightly to make the flap on the opposite side as requested, it just costs us more to have more options. It has to do with the way we make them. These are not idential to factory, but are a good alternative.

No the naked does not cost less, as we are giving you the buy at the price of the naked ones on the old GB.

On the last GBthe majority of the guys want them with all the options, so we set up to make them in mass at the lower price. We have made all the parts, the question is do you want them attached to yours?

Were just trying to get you a good product at the best possible price for the majority.

Think you are overlooking some invoices? I purchased online and my number is 3702. Walter Olin appears to have 3701
bandjoey
Mine is 3683

Does anyone know what the name of the speed nut clip is??? I'm searching but not seeing anything online like this. Stopping by Ace Hardware later today, too.

Thanks!

Mike...unless you say otherwise, I'm holding off shipping the cores for a couple of days in search of the speed nuts. Bill
