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.

For all the newbies that have joined.

I'm working with one of the member's here to offer all my hardware to members here in Oklahoma.

Here is my website: 914Central, LLC

I'm working on a new kit now. It's for the Clutch/Pressure Plate, throwout arm and bearing. The Bolts are correct. The dimensions were measured off NOS Porsche bolts that I bought and I'm including locking nuts as an upgrade. Plain nuts just don't cut it in their application. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Original Yellow Plate all around.

If there is interest, I can buy ARP Stainless Steel bolts made in America that are equivalent in strength to 10.9 according to manufacturer. The catch is; they are expensive even at a wholesale price. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) I am thinking of using these bolts for the front and rear suspension. This may require Pre-Ordering/Pre-Pay setup. If I go this way I would need a pre-paid commitment of at least 10 kits. But Made in USA high strength Stainless Steel bolts, maybe worth it.

I do take requests on all kits and individual hardware. If you have upgrade(s) or modifications on the hardware, I will listen gladly.
