In my search for flag mirrors, I stopped by Einmalig in Huntinto Beach. They specialize in Porsche service, maintenance, restoration, custom fabrication, and sell new/used parts; been around over 20 years.

Just purchased a complete set of new 911 Flag mirrors at an excellent price; bought a second 914 top about a month ago; and picked up new front hood/fenders several years ago.

The people are very friendly and will go out of their way to help; their shop has a lot of 914, 911 parts.

Their toll free # 888-777-6772, ask for Brian

Also have a web page: www.einmalig.com

I've been thinking about the flags myself... how much for the whole setup?

They had complete new sets for $350 and used sets for $250.

I took the new set; it included the backing plate, rubber seal. I've been looking a long time for new and found they averaged $350 per mirror. I think a complete set for $350 is pretty good.

They also had 14" and 15" Fuch whhel sets, new and used. Didn't price them, but will next month.

We carry the original mirrors and have them in stock. Next time try 914 World Headquarters.
914 FACTORY MIRROR LEFT OR RIGHT - Part number: 914 731 939 10

Is it just me... or did he miss the whole point of the post?

Posted by: davep Dec 16 2004, 03:04 PM

Yeah, 911 Flags are not 914 parts. Besides, the 914 left and right have different part numbers if you want to be picky.

This is wonderful. It is like having a conversation with my five year old, except that he stays on topic better.

Posted by: rdauenhauer Dec 16 2004, 03:28 PM

Are we talkin the later painted variety or the early polished ones?

Posted by: Root_Werks Dec 16 2004, 03:54 PM

Flags are the later painted ones. Just modify the base (recurve it) and they can fit a 914 door rather nicely.

$350 for a new set is an awesome price! I just installed a used set on someone's 911 and he paid more for a set of used ones! They were electric with the switches and wiring though.

It's just Treadway doing what he does best... being a clueless fuching Hussey-sucking idiot

Go away Treadway

What about a wiring kit?

Posted by: greg.treadway Dec 16 2004, 07:49 PM

It is a 914 club, I see nothing wrong with mentioning the 914 mirrors. To my knowlege there is no right mirror for the 914, you just take the left and turn it for the right side.

Posted by: ejm Dec 16 2004, 08:08 PM

Right side mirror in PET 914 731 040 10

So much for your knowledge

Posted by: jim912928 Dec 16 2004, 08:12 PM

I got my 911 flag mirrors with wiring and switches for 70 bucks on ebay. Backing plates were 7 bucks apiece from mid-atlantic and I spurged and bought new gaskets for a few bucks.

If doing ebay..just make sure they are 911 and not 944/928 mirrors as the bases are different.

Jim

Posted by: greg.treadway Dec 16 2004, 08:14 PM

It is the same mirror for left or right.

Posted by: Gary Dec 16 2004, 08:42 PM

Mid-Atlantic? Who're they. I need a pair of backing plates too...

Posted by: jim912928 Dec 16 2004, 08:54 PM

Gary..sorry I meant Mid America...who I believe used to be Tweeks.

Posted by: spare time toys Dec 16 2004, 09:09 PM

Hi Jim glad you said that I was thinking of taking the ones off the 28 and putting them on the Banana. So much for that idea.

Posted by: jim912928 Dec 16 2004, 09:16 PM

Larry, the only difference between the 911 and 928 mirrors are the bases. You can use the uppers, switches, harnesses from the 928....you just have to find 911 bases...then you should check some of the porsche salvage yards that might have just the bases on some dented/trashed uppers.

Posted by: markb Dec 16 2004, 10:04 PM

You can get the bases new from Porsche.

Wrongo....

real R side mirrors had convex glass.

someone is mentioning WHERE they got a good price....

Posted by: jim912928 Dec 17 2004, 07:26 AM

OOPS....the BACKING PLATES i didn't get from Mid-America. I got thinking last night and rechecked and I got them from Performance Products, www.performanceproducts.com, 1-800-423-3173. Their part number is 902124 for the left side and 902125 for the right. They are 8.95 each. You can also get them from your local porsche dealer.

Posted by: SLITS Dec 17 2004, 11:53 AM

Hah, my little engineer......ya finally got it right

And youse guys quit beatin on Greg for trying to sell his shit....uhhhhh stuff.....He's doing what any good salesperson would do that was trying to move material. And unless someone can show me a 914 mirror with convex glass from the factory....the passenger side is a flipped driver.

Now for the PET experts, tell me why the single bleeder rear brake and the dual bleeder rear brake have the same part number.

Posted by: Root_Werks Dec 17 2004, 11:59 AM

Oh hey, I posted this a while back. But since we're on the topic of mirrors... I isolated the wiring for the mirrors. This diagram works, just used it. I made it one day at work. Pretty much nothing else to do arond here anyway.

So you're simply here to pedal your wares right? I'm a little calmer today after your "Resource Thread" hijacking but Greg, I'm not buying your "I'm sorry. I'm just a 914 enthusiast" story and I hope the rest of this list can see through it as well. You were clearly sent here by George.

To "my knowledge" you haven't posted one helpful reply and you could. You really could. George probably has more knowledge than anyone does regarding the workings of Porsche 914's and their derivatives.

Hey, it's the holidays, the season for forgiveness and giving. Honestly? I hope George Hussey has changed his ways. I'll even pray that he does.

Here's what I see Greg:

1. Pelican and now the revised Tweeks (Mid-America) is simply kicking the living crap out of AA.

2. George is no dummy, he sees this board and it's 2,000 plus members as a gold mine if he can tap it.

3. He sends you over here to try to make inroads and a few of our members will buy it hook line and sinker.

4. He teams up with GPR in an attempt to go after PP business (I don't know if this rumor is true or not) and he also targets their marketing efforts which have been much more "grassroots" than his own.

I agree in principle with Brad's "more people helping to keep these cars on the road". I disagree with George Hussey's previous business practices. In the past he has clearly lied and has not taken care of the customer. This "used" to work when he was the only 914 game in town.

Prove me wrong Greg. With all my sincerity, please prove me wrong. Become a useful member and participant to this community. More than the 911, 944, 928, 986 9whatever crowds, this is a band of brothers (and a few sisters). We fight with each other. We share with each other. We help each other. We encourage each other. We even pray for each other.

You're welcome here and you don't need me to tell you that. This isn't my list. Greg, I will tell you this: I welcome you here. I will stop being "Rude" as you called it in your PM's to me. I even retracted my reply to one of your posts in the "Resource" section because it was just as unethical as your hijacking of the other threads.

Let's see what you do as a member of this community. Will you continue to muzzle in on threads and offer your goods to make a quick sale (like you have clearly done here), or will you become a helpful participant? "The proof is in the pudding". I'm going to call you on it every time I see you do it and I hope others will join me.

Tell George we'd ABSOLUTELY LOVE his valuable feedback here as well. I have a tremendous amount of respect for his knowledge. When you give something "back" to the community (truly serve the community), you will reap your rewards. George could be a tremendous asset to this list and eventually to AA once again.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Eric

Well stated Eric.

Posted by: greg.treadway Dec 17 2004, 05:14 PM

Thanks Eric. I'll do my best to be a valuable member of the 914world.com. I will mention my wares when necessary and I will list some items, but I am here to be a part of the 914 community. I doubt whether George will participate in the forum. He is busy with our tech forum from the autoatlanta.com website that is devoted to his tech advice. Not that he is snubbing this list by any means, he is just a busy guy.

Thanks for the heads up Jim... I'm going for the mirrors

This is my first try at EBay (with great reservations), guess I'll see how these things work

Posted by: scott thacher Dec 17 2004, 05:33 PM

my passenger side mirror is convex. its a stock mirror, as you can see in my avitar (sort of )

Posted by: jim912928 Dec 17 2004, 05:36 PM

ewdysar....if you are going to go for them bid at the end rather than the beginning..bidding early just drives up the price...bid in the last minute or so.

Posted by: SLITS Dec 17 2004, 05:43 PM

I had about 20 of them and have never seen one. Your's is beautiful <_< and yes I know they are listed......just never touched one.

Posted by: scott thacher Dec 17 2004, 05:57 PM

yes it needs a paint job, to get the engine running, install interior, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

but it has a convex mirror

and at that time it ran great, but needed more hp and here i am 18 months later

Posted by: ewdysar Dec 17 2004, 07:16 PM

Jim,

Ok I'm gonna claim "rookie mistake". Thanks for the advice, if I can just remember to sign on around noon on Sunday...

I probably wouldn't have taken this plunge into the darkness, but the mirrors are white, so's my car and they may not look unreasonable until the re-paint (and flares and rims and door panels and seats and... well, you know).

Thanks again, I owe you one (or a few if it works)
