Yes this has been something I've been working on since Bruce stopped, I have the tooling going right now should be in production in 2-3 weeks I'll be posting pictures as soon as we have the test shots done.
Some one spilled the beans so I admitted that they will be available very shortly. I was planning to introduce these right after Christmass, but as the schedule with the holidyas is still somewhat fluid, I though t I'ld wait. But as I have some other things I'm working on Thought I'ld combine a few items to save on shipping and introduce these as well. Attached thumbnail(s) |

It's good to know these are available again, I did list these at $19 a pair but to be fair with those that have signed up I will match. Most of my cost is tooling, so I need to keep my volume up to be cost effective. I will match the price, the only issue I've had is that it will be next week before I'll have the first ones as the weather has messed up our schedule.
Thanks to all that have signed up an I'll keep more new stuff coming. Happy new year! |

I sincerely appreciate what you are doing out of the goodness of your heart for the 914 Mike. (it certainly does not make money!!!) Thankfully the car is so popular that we have a following and people want to buy the parts. Too bad the Porsche company has turned away from supplying parts for the older cars in favor of new manufacturing but who is to put them down, they are because of it making more money than ever before.
The problem is what is the crazy logic they are following to discontinue a part and then bring it back like they have the rear window caps when so many other parts are more direly needed? Surely they are not dependent on the rear window caps to make them money. I wish they would hire me to take over their 914 parts department. I could reorganize and have remade every part that would be needed the most and make the company PLENTY of money putting all of the aftermarket 914 parts suppliers (including that damn place Auto Atlanta) out of business in six months, spreading good cheer throughout the 914 community and dramatically increasing participation in the 914 restoration hobby! (of course I do not need a job, and they would NEVER resurrect the 914 parts business again at Porsche!!!! It's good to know these are available again, I did list these at $19 a pair but to be fair with those that have signed up I will match.
