Okay a recent post got people interested in this item once again. So since I did part of the orginal kit, I thought I would offer up to do them again.
Price I am not sure yet, shooting for below $100 shipped, will try to make it less than that. So here you go what all is in the kit and what is not. Backing plate, silver cadium plated, laser cut so acuracy is with in 0.0001" not bad. My plater does this stuff plating for a lot of space and aviation industry people. Front Plate - CNC milled to get the bevel into the face. Powder coated, then the faces are silk screened. I make them with out the hole drilled for the silver button, I provide a template for use if you want to drill it. Or I may just have a batch made with some holes and some with out. The face will then be screened with the gauge names onto it. It will have a gound spade lug, instructions, and great care and packing. So if you have interest let me know I will start the ball rolling, which I have already done, I have the Machinist, platter and powder-coater all lined up. So what am I missing?????? A silk-screener - I need a excellent silk screener, recommendations are allowed, needs to be high quality, and professional. Okay if you are interested I will start a list here, this will be a 914 club exclusive. But once they are gone, I will do this only this time. Twice is a too much. So let me know your interest and if you want the center dot cut out or make it a flat panel. Pictures to follow latter tonight once I get some new ones. Thanks, Stephen |

In the for what it's worth dept.
I also put a kit together from one of the old Pelican units. I was put off by the price of $150.00 ea.So it didn't happen for me until i saw a kit pop up on e-bay. I called Pelican,and they were unloading all the units they had for $75.00ea. shipped.The guy told me they were happy to be done with them cause they were really a non-seller at the $150.00 price,and the guy said really lost a lot of money over those kits.Thats when I grabbed one. If you can get a kit price under $100.00 you should be ok but I think it'll be tough to do it and make some profit.You'll probably have to sell only one kind of faceplate and let the customer go there own way on wether or not to mount a center button.2 different kits means 2 different setups on the f.pl's and probably more up front cost. On the buttons,I bought a wore out early 911 gauge and cannibalized it for the button. Lastly,the PP unit said in its instructiions to glue on the bulb holders on the back plate.This totally sucked.They would continue to break off no matter what epoxy was used.I finally had my bulb holders Tig'd on,and haven't had one fall off since.Problem solved. Good luck,as I know a lotta people love the look,it's just the buck they gotta fork over to have that look. Ron |
