I got this part from an ebay auction. The guy build it scratch.
I know another guy in germany who fabricate them without the radius.
This was 25 Euro the pair.
Did you check restoration design homepage?

I just cut off the old one, traced it onto a piece of thick sheet metal, and cut out the profile.

Tacked the sheet metal profile onto the top of the old plate and hammered away (into the dipped area) with my ball peen body hammer until the two profiles matched perfectly and nested together. Used some dollys for support on the back side of the original, particularly where the original was thin. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

Bent the edge using the hammer and vise trick. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

A little smoothing hammer and dolly work, and it was perfect. Cut off the cup, derusted it and welded into place on the new part. Primed, clamped and welded into place.

Hi everybody,
today i did some cleaning the part under the hell hole. Step one : sanding down the worst dirt ans rust. Step two : Cleaned up with Marine clean. Step three: Used metal-Ready. Step four: Painted the glove box with Por15 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) .
I let work the metal-Ready thing a day or two, then the part under hell hole will be painted with por15.

I also tryed to contact R.D. three or four times. Never got any reply. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) .

I ordered then the needed parts by an german dealer (Mittelmotor). Took about 3 month till they delivered the parts.

Ditto here...

I've tried R.D. Twice and even left messages saying "I want to buy something from you. I now what I want, all I want is for someone to call me and take my money." Nothing...

That's a crying shame.

Your work is fantastic michelko!

#2: nother view. as you can see, i did some cleaning and grinding on the fire wall.
Someone sprayed a black material on it and covered that with the blue paint. Unfortunately the metall was rusted (surface) in uncountable places.

I just replaced the engine shelf on my 914. Little tacs about an inch appart. I ground them flat. most of them only needed a little touching anyway, but after painting it, they almost disapear. So yeah, I would do it. Looks cleaner.
