Keep them coming .....................

Well if you are taking suggestions...

Any thought of producing the front and rear stock valences. late type for the rear.. good option would be with stock exhaust cutouts or no cutouts so people could adjust for the different exhaust types.

That's a great idea. I would be first in line for a reproduction 914-6 rear valence!

Here is another -
late rear trunk floor

Hi Pete,

How about doing these ?
Yeah, I know I can buy all the piece but I want a factory repro like in the pic.
Well minus the battery box, shelf, and 4 cyl engine bar mount.

I'm sure you know where there's one hanging around..

Here is a little part that I have been working on lately. This is the initial stamping, so it will be improved. It is a depression for the /6 ignition so you guys can convert your 4 to a 6. I know, blurry shot, but you get the idea.

Also I'm currently working on /6 engine tins, so keep your eyes peeled for them. They are modeled off of NOS pieces, and are going to be stamped and laser cut.

Two Parts suggestions and a question.

The suggestion is a body door handle top repair section, for peeps who don't have repair the whole sail panel.

The 2nd is a inner rocker stiffener kit like engman used to sell.

Question is how far does the AC trunk floor repair panel wrap around? A good pic should do.

My Boy is going to need a few panels for his project.

I dont really want to make a die for a small portion around the handle. It will take away sales for the sail panel.

I have done some drawings for the inner longs similar to the engman kits. I have yet to cut any out. I really just need to make time for that to happen.

Cool the boys trunk has rust holes all around the rounded edge, that will likely work.
Whole bottom of the trunk is covered in FG, I still have to investigate further.

He's going to have a list of bits to get from you, when he can afford it

The engine sheet metal sounds exciting. Glad I have not bought any yet..

I need an entire set of the engine sheet metal myself.

Any idea/estimate when these will be developed and ready to sell to customers?

Great. Put me down for a couple of each please.

There are 5 total pieces. I have a set of dies machined for one piece so far. Im starting to machine a set of dies for a second piece of the tins today. Perhaps they will all be done and polished and ready for production in a month. But I will keep you guys informed.

Pete

I would also be interested in the early front & rear valences as well, if they ever get on your drawing board.

Any idea on price point?

I wont know until I have totaled my costs for building the dies. Somewhere between 500-$1000. I know thats vague, but we will be somewhere between the two options on the market.

I have been getting more inquiries about front and rear valences as well, so perhaps it will get boosted up the list.

Pete

And front and rear bumpers.
Fronts especially, they are becoming scarce.
Please

We just spent a grand on 911 parts. Probably some more before the month is over. Shipping was supper quick. Thanks.

Just received my shipment today....less than 1 week. Wow, that was fast and the parts look great. Cary will be busy in the coming weeks installing everything on my 71 914.

Awesome! thanks for the orders gentlemen.

Keep them coming!

Pete

Pete how do you reference the discount? Promo code ...?
Is it for parts only or total (incl. shipping)?

The discount will be applied when the invoice is put together. If you want to know exactly what your getting a discount on, then I would recommend calling in.

All orders over $1000 will get an additional $100 off of the shipping total.

Pete

I have finished the /6 ignition key depression. I test fit an original /6 ignition to ensure they have proper cutouts.

there is extra material around the outside that needs to be trimmed, and there are several depressions to help locate where it needs to get welded into the dash.

I will come up with a price in the next couple days.

Pete

How long is the sale on for?
I should get something for the young lads birthday...

The sale ends June 30. No rain checks so get your order in soon.

Pete

One more bump for the sale!
Buy your 914 sheet metal before the sale ends!

Pete

Only a few hours left to hit the RD e-store.
Just got the boy his birthday present

We are hosting a sale for 9/14 day!

Sale runs from the 14th till the 30th of September.

20% off all Canadian made product.

Nice!
How do you tell whats made in Canada & other?

If you click on the part description all the Canadian parts say "Made in Canada". These are parts that are made by RD in-house.
If it doesn't say where it's made it's not on sale.

Also a good indicator is if the part has primer on it then RD didn't make it.

RD uses a higher quality steel with a special coating (IIRC) that prevents rust, so they don't have primer paint their panels.

thanks Mark

Ordered my passenger side engine shelf last week I think it ships today.. The discount pushed me over the edge to buy vs fab and I like to fab.. Thanks

Great!

thanks for the order!

Hi Pete,

Is the edge ( in the red ) rounded or a sharp 90 degrees ?
Also is the air vent hole the correct size to fit into the elbow?

Thanks again for the products that you guys make.

The edge in question has the same radius as the NOS piece I copied. It should not be 90 degrees exact. It is a 5/32 rad.

Here is the NOS piece we have.

Here is my reproduction piece. Both were measured with the same radius gauge. There is a small lip on the other side of this piece where the tube is placed.

Hi Pete,

So it's a copy or as close to as possible of the nos part.
That's what I was asking about. Sorry if I threw you off on the 90 degree thing.

Looks like I need to add this to my list now.

Thanks,

Here is another new part.

1 out of 5 pieces for the /6 engine tin. Laser cutting tomorrow so they should be up on the web in about a week. I will have a price at that point.

Test fitted to our engine.

Great, any eta on the other pieces?

Two other panels will go into the press next week probably. Then if they work out fine laser cutting another week. If adjustments need to be made then add 3 weeks at least.

Then 2 more panels need to be tried and those will take another month at least.

Its hard to tell how long, too many variables.

Pete

Engine tin will you be selling pieces separately or only as a package?
I ask because I have the OE pulley tin, but the rest is homemade.

Thanks for the information Pete.

There will be a kit and they will also be sold separately.

Pete

I was holding off on this piece because getting the NAFTA paperwork for the parts to cross the border has been slow. But it seems that people are in need of this part.

This is an exact copy of the original piece. 7/16-20 thread, spot welded stud to the reinforcement plate. You can see I tested the weld until the correct heat was put into it to ensure the welds hold. These were several wacks with a 25 lb sledge.

I have no price point yet either, so if you're interested in this piece either give me a call, or PM.

Will you be putting the wire retaining tabs on the engine tins?

I have some original pieces if you need any measurements.
