914 Hardware Options

[A&PGirl]

What was the Point of this?
Basically what I'm doing is providing hardware in the correct head type, correct size/thread pitch and correct length. Most of the hardware is NLA Porsche or silly expensive if it is available. I have spent a lot of time, effort and money buying up hardware pieces to measure (that are now NLA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) ) and measuring off of somewhat unmolested cars.

What Kind of Hardware can I get?
I can get most pieces in Replica with is the same as OEM with Yellow Zinc Plating instead of Yellow Cadmium(fed. rules) and Stainless Steel.

What do I do with the hardware?
I assemble them into kits. The hardware is sealed and I provide documentation on where the hardware goes on the 914.

How Many Kits do I have?
Done? 9ish. Research done? Pretty much the whole car except for a few niggling FI pieces & interior pieces. And some -6 Only stuff, I don't have access to a 6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Why Don't I have more available?
Avg assembly time for start to finish is roughly 45min for kits over 75 pieces. Receiving of hardware is an Average of 2 weeks. If I need to plate something, plating takes 1 week and sorting takes 1-2 days depending on the weight of the hardware.

How are your kits priced?
It depends on the total quantity of pieces per kit and the pricing I can get when I buy the hardware. I am not here to stick you guys, play games or charge outrageous prices.

For example my Lock Kit: It has (54) pieces. Its price is $38.00
It has a relatively low amount of bolts in it. Bolts cost me more, which in turn affects the kit price.

Do I do discounts?
Yes, sometimes I Pre-release things on 914World at discount in Group Buys.

Do I website to buy from?
I hope by the end of next week.

Original Introduction:
Hey all,
I'm trying to gage the interest if I made packs of hardware (year & engine) correct, both in stainless steel & oem (depending on availability) for things like door latches, interior, headlight, taillight, doors, etc. Would this be beneficial to anyone?
Please share this anyone who has a 914 and may not be a member on 914world.

OEM meaning yellow zinc? I'd be in for that.

On the stainless steel, when you have a pan (allen) head piece would you prefer it to be a bolt or stay an allen? Some places this probably isn't possible because of tolerances/space issues.
