I am in for this and the clam shells!

Jeff B

I have a real six race car that's missing these pieces. I'm in as I want the car to more or less look period correct...

These

Thanks for doing this! Any idea when we will see these available?

I'll have a better idea once I have these in hand. But the small parts about 4 weeks and the large may be 6 weeks because of the imbedded metal.
But these are from the thim I get the parts.

Looks like Stoddard already has 'em.

Those are the 911 version. The 914/6 is different.

Note the cut out on the clam shell.

Little disappointing to see this

Almost think I'll make these to for fun!

Damn you have good eyes. When I followed that stoddard link and all I thought was they actually look more than ok in comparison to say the AA version of the -6 ones and bugger that is a corner of the market which been already, err, cornered

I know that a lot is going on with the GBs etc, and awaiting bits to come in, any progress?

Still awaiting samples.

Going out today.

I would buy these if Mark made them for my lock customers.

Got the part started drawings

On another old topic, how's the 1.8 engine boot / nozzle project that you started last November coming along?
Sorry if my description of that part is incorrect, but I'm sure you know what I'm referring to.
Thanks

Did the /6 have the fog light switch on the right side of the wheel?

I forget.

I'd be in for a set or two of all these parts.

I'm up for a pair of clamshells and two sets of the eyebrows, when the time comes.

Have drawings, but have not pulled the trigger on tooling yet as it's actually more expensive than many other tools due to the way the mold has to be made.

914-6 fog light switch is to the left of the ignition & steering column

I'll have 2 pairs

Hi Mark

How are the clam shells progressing?

Chris

I'm in for 2 sets of all, regardless of the final price.

Same here.

About 2-3 week we will have the tool ready to test and then production pending acceptable parts

Great, looking forward to it. Seems like plenty of interest in these

I'm interested.

Getting back on this. I gust completed the drawings for something many of us need and will be doing a Black friday sale on these at a price that will blow you away.

Sorry to get side tracked, but needed to pay some bills too. The other new part will be HUGE.

Got a question: Can the clamshells be used on a late model steering column when the lock housing has been moved to the dash ( like the sixnotfour kit ).

Add me to the list please.

How much $ do I need to set aside.

The project I just finished was a huge undertaking. Our Black friday one day only sale will be 70% off - one day only!

the clam shells we will start cutting metal on in about a week, so these are roughly 5 weeks out.

I would like one of these if its not to late,how and when do i pay
Thanks Brian

No not too late, Once I have the tool complete I will open up the GB. You just bumped the thread so I will contact you when ready.
Thanks,
mark

Nope. The clamshells and turn/wiper switches all mount to arms on either side of the column, which aren't present on any 914-4 column.

put me down for one..

Thanks,
Harry

Clamshells are clearly like buses, you wait for 3 1/2 years for a pair and then they all arrive together

Ok, well within weeks of one another, so in 914 Restoration or Geological time (same thing) that counts as together

This lot arrived in the post today

I'm still in

Good work finding those Jon!

In the homestretch, working on the decals now to include too.

Looking forward to getting these since this will be a great winter project!

Jeff B

Whoa! How did I miss this? Are these 6 clamshells?

Yes specific to the 6 not 911.

Well I will probably be in for a set as Mark E is helping on allot of the other parts for the conversion.

Little bump here...

I want in on the clamshells.

Also, hope I'm not hijacking here... My car is an orignal six but the clamshells, wipers arm and turn signal stalk were removed along time ago (race car).

My plans are to take it back in appearance to a factory prepped GT.

Anyone know which if any 911 turn signal / wiper arms will work and look right since the 914/6 ones are really hard to find?

Everyone likes pics so here are a couple of picsClick to view attachmentClick to view attachment

Does someone have a linky on how the whole /6 column and switch project goes together and a parts list?

Debating whether or not I should do this on my conversion.

I know McMark was working in the conversion so it may be on another thread here.

I'm with you Mark. If all the pieces can be had at reasonable prices, I'm in for my conversion.

Good luck on finding all of the original parts. They are not cheap either.

(bump)

Molds will be tested in the next week. More pics to follow soon
