As I mention later in the Thread brad Mayer had mentioned these may be no longer available in the future, that's why I took these on. I'm making these out of a more durable silicone, so these should last longer.
These should be ready to ship in January. Let me know if you need any. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Wow that was quick.
I started the tooling on these, and will have them in about 4 weeks. Just working out the pricing now. Should be about $3.85 a pop. Really need to sell 100 sets to make it pencil out. |

I was unable to locate the part in the 914 diagram either, so I couldn't find a part number. I trusted Brad knows what's up with these, so started the tooling.
And possibly these are drying up. I try to get a jump on some of the stuff I have in the works as the product production takes 8-12 weeks. these are 4 weeks in with the tooling being produced now, I should be able to pull 1st articles in the next 10 days or so. So I started the thread to get these out there. With the tax laws potentially changing I needed to throw more cash at tooling as tooling will not be able to be directly written off, it will have to go on a schedule. Anyhow these are comming. the good news is they are less expensive, and will be silicone, so they should outlast the OEMs. -Mark |

where do they go exactly? anybody have a picture? I think the thing hanging down in the front under the spare tire there. They seem a bit wrong, long tubes hanging down, backwards udder nipples (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/wesclark.com-11782-1355152589.1.jpg) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Mark, I'm in for the 3-4 of these required at the front trunk + a couple of spares. I think I've only found 1 or 2 NOS ones so far online. Also, I'm going to PM or email you on another possible product for you for Vanagons a bit later today/tonight. Thanx for doing these! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Let us know when they are available. One of my originals is broken off, and I would replace all on my 73, I believe I need 3? I'll count when I next take the winter cover off.

2 needed for the 914, in the front trunk. The two holes they fit are self-evident. They were also used on the 356s and 911s
