ski rack paint protection rubber mat, ski rack protection mat Options

[haul]

Dear all,

as I had the ski rack offered

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...352901&st=0

I noticed the discussion and also thought about
- metric screws
- paint protection rubber mat

I checked out today the hardware dealer for the screws and bought some fitting parts according to my originals I do have. Allen scews had not been available in the correct length, but these could be shortened easily.

For the paint protection mat I noticed the original part being some sort of tissue reinforced rubber material, showing a thickness of 1,8 -2,0mm.
I organized the material in the 2,O mm strength from the whole saler and punched the correct hole sizes -6 mm - after the cut-out.

From the attached pics you can see the new parts - being darker - and the old originals in comparison.

So if anyone is in need of these, just pm me....
easy to be shipped in an envelope.

No big deal because you're unofficially allowed to post new products in the garage, but after that you have to move it to the member vendors section here.

Also the one big rule is you have to list a price.

I agree with Mark that it's a good idea to post the availability of these parts here, because the screws will fit all types of rack's mounting to the rollbar underside, as may the protective pad.

And that Haul should start a member-vendor topic for the sale of the parts.

Also note for our USA & Canadian members, that you may be able to source the correct size, pitch & length Allen Head Screws in SS &/or other steel from both online &/or local hardware suppliers.

And Porsche Classic may also have them now too, because I think that these Allen heads were also used on the contemporary 911/912/912E/930 cars as well, that Porsche supports well (better than our 914s anyway).

Old thread on screw size/thread/pitch at link below, but double check it with an actual screw before buying a bunch.

IMHO the best is SS Allen head or the special tool head screws because most would-be thieves won't have the tool/Allen wrench on hand, & the Hex/Flat/Phillips heads tend to get buggered-up over time.

The original Allen Heads from my P-dealer sold Hardt Bike Rack & Piper/Hardt/etc. style ski racks were usually painted flat black to match the racks, or the chromed racks were chromed steel or SS - in both cases to better match the color of the racks.

As sold by USA Porsche Dealers back in the `70s (these were both bought by me at Porsche+Audi in Newport Beach):

2x Ski - One side - get 2 sets for 4 skis (e.g.: downhill + XC - I borrowed an extra for that):

2x Bikes - both sides - NOTE "G 6 X 16 mm Allen Bolts" at instructions (no thread type/pitch noted):

I will do so as requested tomorrow and move this topic over to the correct location.

concerning the screws and fasterners I do also think these should be available elsewhere in the www or around the corner.

I had a further question for the L profile

The measurements for the L profile are as following:
thinkness 3mm
width 25mm
L long side 21,70mm
L short side 18,30mm
hole, thread, 3mm from side
3,85mm from top
space between center 16,25mm

the threaded screw for the L profile is a M4x10, DIN 965.
this needed to be shortended to an overall length of 6mm
the hex bolts screws for the roof rack are M6x12, DIN 933.

all material in stainless

No - leave this here, but do your for sale link either in the Classifieds Parts For Sale &/or as a Member Vendor Forum Topic if you want a longer standing For Sale topic post.

That's where you'll need to list prices for the items you sell.


This topic is good here, & you can add a post with the link(s) in here to your member-vendor &/or classified ad(s) post.

That's what I meant to do, & I think what Mark meant too. Just some help to a new member on where to put your parts kits to actually sell them.

Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

For short Allen head bolts, try Belmetric.
