Greg, or one of the 6 owner may be nice enough to post a pick. From the consensus these need to be made. I can and will do so, really need about 40 folks that need these at $36 to make these pencil out. If we can even get close I'll do these.

I'll take 3

I'll take 1

I'm in for one

Here's pics of the ones off of my org 6.

I'll take two sets.

Whoops. I guess I misread... I thought we were talking about the steering wheel clam shells.

Me too but I'm still in for a couple.

Definitely in. I have NOS clam shells you can scan if you want.

Yes, we need those!

I'd be in for this and the clam shells!

In for two sets. Thanks

Steering wheel cover? Steering column cover? What is this? And how much will it devalue an original six? lol

a real hard part ,I see the outfit called Dr George,that girl,Lionel Atlanta whatever has them ,expensive and don't look great,think they even say that the fits not great.
Now just get those late relay box covers going Mark.

I'm in for a set of clamshells and eyebrows - well whatever Mike decides he's going to make to do with six column really

Biggles started this http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=284863 WTB thread for an OEM set of clamshells with unsurprisingly no takers

Mike within 48 hours has kindly stepped up like the superb vendor he is now that is what I call customer service response

Spread the word and let's make this happen as these parts are really needed for those that want to go the whole hog with a six column conversion or those like me who have missing bits

Maybe the title of this thread is a little confusing as it's the plastic 'clam shell' covers around the steering column. Anyway, I've attached a couple of photos of what we're referring to, taken from Armando's excellent reference site on pbase.

Count me in for a set

I'm in for 2 sets.

I'll take a set.

I am in for 2 set

I'll take a set, please!

Looks like this is going to happen. I'm awaiting sample parts to start on these. I can do the clam shells too, and more than likely the graphics that can be a sepotate part for those that need them too.

Great news Mike - the power of the internet strikes again !

McMark seems like he has offered his NOS clam shell covers for scanning.

I'll take 2

The emblems/icons on either side are sticker which are already available. Although I haven't ordered any yet to see what sort of quality. Actually, I need a set for this 69 911 project, so I'll find some and see.

I bought a set of the stickers from Sierra Madre. I haven't used them yet but they look nice enough.

If i remember correctly, there a slight differences and the SM ones are not 100% correct for a 914-6, which i don't care about much.

i'm in for a set

Aase Sales has them also: http://www.aasesales.com/collections/porsc...-m66-09g-103985

I'm In for a set to please !!!

Mike just following up your PM, yes I'm in for one complete set (clamshells that go around the column / switches and eyebrow cover thingys that close the gap between the clamshells and the metal dash frame structure).

At the moment we are all acting like 6 year olds on a sugar rush at the excitement of these parts and you may want to clarify exactly which bit's your are proposing to remanufacture and at what price point i.e. Eyebrow's or Clamshells for $36

Either way I'm in for everything

Ref stickers I bought some a while back from Aase at the same time as a six wiper switch. They seems good quality and better quality than the ones I have now, which is exactly zero

How many are in so far for, err, some plastic stuff. I make it 23?

I was initailly looking at the sourrounds. Not the clamshells. They will be simular in cost, only I have to add in the mounts, so until I have one in hand I can't fix the price, but I'm thinking that it will be in the $70 range. Metal isn't too bad, maybe $20, but again I'll fix the price after I have some in hand to see exactly what I need to do.

To be honest Mark, the surrounds (eyebrows) are readily available, it's the clamshell that are not. so I guess that's your call if you'd like to produce the eyebrows as well.

Are you contacting one of the guys here to get the NOS part or does someone need to contact you? Just trying to keep the momentum!

My understanding is the sides that are available are not the best quality, and the 911 ones are not right, that's why I'm going down this path. I have samples of each that are supposed to be inbound. I will do the sides 1st. I'm awaiting a set of the clam shells to determine the cost to make them, so they are 2nd and will get their own thread.
But these will take several weeks to do.
Mark

Restoration design is in the process of making the metal ignition dash piece.

Any news ?

Still awaiting the sample parts to get started.

Mark

had you separately agreed with someone on here to provide the parts or does it need someone to contact a member with a NOS part ? There are a couple of people on this thread who said they'd help...

Chris.

Hey Mark
Here's one add to your run of 914 6 parts.
The ignition switch escutcheon.
It is a 6 only part. It has fine internal threads that attach it to the ign. switch/lock assy.
NLA , AFAIK
Rory

Oh I am in for both pieces Been looking for the steering clam shell for years.

Mark you are getting to be very expensive guy to hang around with. Almost as bad as Chris

That being said, you both make great parts, and I love high quality cars, tools, parts and woman. My wife would say in that order

Mark De Bernardi,

Can you help Mark out with your NOS set of clam shells? I don't have a set to contribute or I would.

PM sent to McMark.

Thanks,

Greg

Mark
Just as a reference to expand your reach with the clamshell project.
There are two distinct tops and two distinct bottoms that will cover both 914 6
and 911 (1969 - 1973 )
Can provide pics here or to your email.
Rory

Rory

it's these ones we want re-producing (ignore the 'eyebrow' or 'fillet' pieces as these are readily available, unless Mark wants to do these as well):

Yes, those are the ones that we want re-produced for 914 6 cars.
I was suggesting to Mark that there is certainly a ( large ) market for the 911 version as well. When tooling up for anything it is often easy to produce a second version to satisfy a larger market. There are many more 911s than 914 6s
A second cavity for injection molding can often be produced for a fraction of the cost of the first.

Depending on the volume we can do cast pieces pretty effectively.
Obviously if the demand is there we can do hard tooling. This way, if I only sell 25 sets, I don't have 5000 pieces sitting on my shelf.

I'm in for several sets and I think others have indicated they are too. I may be wrong but I believe there is a huge demand for the clam shells and the surrounds if done to replicate the factory parts in quality. Your audience isn't just the US. And having access to the correct parts helps those who are doing conversions.

Have said that, I will defer to your judgment as to how to proceed.

Thanks, Mark.

Greg

McMark is sending the clamshels. I still need the bases to cast them.

Yes the ignition surround I can do, again a sample helps, but will both need for more than 6 weeks.
Mark

I made Pete do that. Gave him a deal on an FI system to give him some motivation. Sent the sample I cast off a real six dash.

Mark

What are the 'bases' you refer to?

Chris

Left and right eyebrows that close the gap between the base of the clamshell and the dash frame
