Sean: I'll take a set for the 914 dash gauges, $77.95, and a set for the stock 914 console gauges, $ 32.00 . Can some one confirm that the stock console gauges are 52mm. I did check ,but this metric conversion still has me whiped. i want the polished sets.
$109.75 right , When do you want the money? Now? Or when you get 10 orders? let me know Dave

See you Oct. 18th

Posted by: seanery Sep 7 2003, 08:35 AM

no one send money til we have 10 confirmed please.

Posted by: vsg914 Sep 7 2003, 12:12 PM

Dave 52mm is approximately 2-1/6"

Posted by: StratPlayer Sep 7 2003, 01:18 PM

Count me in for the 3 ring set and a set of 3 rings for the console gauges, 2 1/16 according to post above those are 52mm ( I hope), but I want the rings for the 2 1/16 console gauges.

Posted by: vsg914 Sep 7 2003, 01:36 PM

Ok, I've measured the guages from three different consoles on three different cars, and two more from consoles upstairs with my dial calipers. They all measure in at 2.357 inches. That's almost 2-3/8". That's 60.5mm.

52mm? Maybe they made some that are different from mine?

Posted by: seanery Sep 7 2003, 05:11 PM

Maybe the 52mm are the aftermarket size?

Posted by: Aaron Cox Sep 7 2003, 05:12 PM

yes the aftermarket ones are smaller than stock.

Posted by: BarberDave Sep 8 2003, 05:49 AM

Anyone else, come on only a couple more. Use the Paypal return from Ed and the RC 914 bodies to fund most of the cost.

Thanks Guys!

Posted by: JmuRiz Sep 15 2003, 01:20 PM

Just let us know how/where to send the payment, thanks!

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 15 2003, 01:25 PM

does anyone have the proper tool to "crimp" them on?
for that money, i would hate to fuck them up with pliers and screw-drivers ...

IF someone can point me to the right tool to mount, i might be in for 5 (911 gauges, remeber?)

Andy

Posted by: seanery Sep 15 2003, 01:34 PM

They say you don't need a tool, just a wee bit of the double sided tape they provide.

OK, let's get the party started.
If you want 'em

send the paypal to me: sean at moronthrottle.com

We'll order them as everyone gets $ in.
Please include your 914club name in the paypal.

Posted by: Van914 Sep 15 2003, 04:21 PM

Are we ready to order yet. If so I will take a set of 3 for the 914.
Thanks
Van

Posted by: Van914 Sep 16 2003, 07:31 AM

Seanery,
Pay Pal sent today.

Van914

Posted by: seanery Sep 16 2003, 07:33 AM

Cool, that's 5 solid orders (including mine).

Posted by: Brad Roberts Sep 16 2003, 12:14 PM

I spent all weekend with the US people who make these... we can get a MUCH better deal. They are based out of Florida.

If you like the Germans.. stick with them.. I'm just giving you another option.

how 'bout another?

Posted by: Korijo Sep 19 2003, 01:17 PM

What if we don't make 10 ??

Posted by: seanery Sep 20 2003, 12:02 PM

we will, it may take longer.
Some folks who said they wanted them are away from their 'puters for a short bit.

I think we're at 7 now, so we're close.

Posted by: vsg914 Sep 20 2003, 04:22 PM

Due to an unfortunate meeting with a dropped valve seat, I will not be able to participate in this venture.

Posted by: Justin Fischer Sep 24 2003, 11:21 AM

Bump. This was three pages deep already. We still hovering around 7 orders?

Brad - any info on the company in Florida that makes these???

Posted by: siverson Sep 24 2003, 11:35 AM

Ok, count me in. Are you still collecting Paypal payments?

-Steve

Posted by: seanery Sep 24 2003, 11:55 AM

Posted by: silver six Sep 24 2003, 02:24 PM

Sorry, now I have to pull out. Financial problems.

Douglas

Posted by: Korijo Sep 24 2003, 02:46 PM

Sean,

Can you make mine the non polished brushed style, instead of the titanium look ??

TIA

Posted by: seanery Sep 24 2003, 03:17 PM

dave send me an email with that info.
I've got a folder with everyone's info in it and I'll put it withem.

Posted by: JmuRiz Oct 9 2003, 07:42 PM

*bump*
Any word on if these have been ordered yet/when can we expect them. Thanks

Posted by: sj914 Oct 9 2003, 07:45 PM

1 3 ring set for the 914 for me

Posted by: seanery Oct 9 2003, 07:47 PM

I'm waiting to hear back if they'll give us the same price for a lesser qty.

Posted by: boxstr Oct 9 2003, 09:26 PM

Sean Could you please list those who are on the group buy.
Thanks.
The set that I bought in Ventura from the Florida people is outstanding. Compared to a set that I purchased from Stuttgart Performance, which were as thin as tin foil, and much more costly than the ones from CARCRAFTER.
CCLINLO

Posted by: seanery Oct 13 2003, 12:12 PM

Group buy is cancelled. Money returned this morning via paypal to those who paid.
We didn't get enough buyers and they jacked the price for a lower qty.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Posted by: Justin Fischer Oct 13 2003, 12:42 PM

Thanks for trying Seanery. Maybe something will work out with the Florida company.

edit: Just found them http://www.carcrafter.com/ $150 for the 914 set

Thanks,
Justin

Posted by: boxstr Oct 13 2003, 06:57 PM

I have been in discussion with Carcrafters, I will post later what information I have.

What are the specs on these things.

We have several shops that "may" be able to pop these things out cost effectively.
