Getting nostalgic about the many grassroots and commercial vendors that once supported our cars in the past. Some have passed, others are still around just not active in our 914 community. Thank you.
Remember to support our active vendors, they may not be here when you need them in the future. Who do you remember that you can add to this list? Post away…. Grassroots vendors Mark Engman – Various items Dave Ellison – Triad mufflers Craig Laughlin – Camp 914 James Thorusen – D-Jet testers James – Redbeard – transaxle refurbishment Rich Johnson - 914/6 motor mounts Commercial vendors Easy’s – Emeryville Parts Heaven John Williamson – Ottos John Larsen – West Coast Garage Al Reed – Wheel restoration Doc & Cys Automotion Mitcom Mark De Bernardi – Original Customs Ron – Slits |

I guess I don’t count (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) gpr and auto Atlanta and sometimes auto motion @MB911 You count, but I was under the impression that this was a thread about inactive vendors, or vendors who have passed away. Jeff has a list of current vendors that I keep bookmarked, and you are on that list. If I were you I'd not be in a rush to be mentioned on this list (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Rich Johnston’s motor mounts are terrific! Also, his throttle rod assembly is great.
Bruce Stone contributed several restored items to my build. Great resource. mb111 made some terrific heat exchangers and a classic muffler that work well. Tangerine Racing has great stainless fuel and brake lines, and excellent shift rod kits. JWest Rennshifter is superb. Eric at PMB contributed great caliper restorations for two of my projects |
