What Products are Missing from Pelican?

Wayne 962 · Wayne 962's Garage

All of this talk about Island's 911 valve adjust gauge has got me thinking - what products do you wish Pelican carried that we don't carry?

Before you post indiscriminately, make sure that you do a search in the search engine above to make sure that we don't already carry it.

I'll have Eugene (my new catalog manager for Porsche & BMW) take a look at this thread...

Thanks!

Wayne

-Kit-like packages for 915 transmission rebuilds (and others)
-Alternative besides factory or repro fuel tanks for Carrera 84-89 years
-Accurate numbers and complete illustrated catalog section for Dansk or other exhaust systems (besides B&B crap)

Otherwise...pretty darn nice site...!

Oh, a complete hose replacement set for CIS.

Seats--their are a variety of nice period repro's and some sport seats would be nice. I am looking for a correct style sport seat for my 1972.

kinda petty, but the hardest thing for me to find was the "silicone grease" mentioned in so many of the BBS tech articles. i never did find the dowcorning version. maybe add this to the rest of your line of lubes, etc.?

i ordered the fuel sender gasket, and got the cork one. only the factory rubber unit will fit my car, and some other's. maybe offer both with different part numbers?

1) Triad mufflers
2) Lexan windows
3) TRE aluminum motor mounts

The Triad muffler - I've said it once, I'll say it again. This is hands-down better than any other mufflers you offer, and much less expensive. Plus, you don't have to cut the valance to fit a dual-out version.

Lexan windows - do you offer those?

TRE makes some very nice aluminum engine mounts. Pure craftsmanship. Next Mulholland run, I'll let you take a look-see.

I searched out Lexan and found nothing, you already carry some "other brand" motor mounts. And Triad is not there at all.

The 1000 mm fan belts for use with the Seiko A/C compressors, and a note on the web site that the one that you sell is for the cars with the original A/C compressor (I ordered the wrong one, and at the price, its probably not worth sending back. Also, when I ordered the oil hoses, it didn't say that they come with the nuts and ferrels included and so I ordered them as well, Again, for the price I won't bother to send them back.

I'll second the Lexan windows and add....the ones with the correct RS leather strap. Velco may provide more flexibility and be cheaper, but that RS strap looks really cool.

Replacement seatbelts (the original type).

Air Conditioning parts, barrier hoses. Modern fuse blocks to replace the old style.

I'll second that. I think putting together a few kits for the different versions of CIS will add alot of value. I don't mind cutting hoses to fit but I don't have a clue what to order to replace mine & I'm definitely not going to pull them all of, measure, order new quantities & then try & remember where they all go when they arrive!

Complete D-I-Y EFI conversion kits for CIS equipped Porsches.

I would like to see the roller bearings as a replacement option for the front a-arm suspension bushings?

Also, I would like to see the small misc seals and gromments to replace the ones going through the firewall, doors, front truck area, etc.

I would also like to see the WEVO product line...they have some awesome stuff.

Long style rear seat retension straps for 911's. The longest ones you have 5.25 inches are not long enough for my 911SC.

KWIQSLVR · 02-23-2004, 12:33 PM

Only because I'm dealing with this problem right now, but where are the 915 drain/fill plugs that aren't of the recessed hex type?

Rufblackbird · 02-23-2004, 12:38 PM

I agree with the lexan goodies...

how about bolt on hairdryer kits?

Maintenance items for Boxsters. Air filters, oil filters, etc.

ditto there...that happened to me too...the cork WILL NOT fit under the sender...the part # from the PET cd is the correct rubber part...the oil sender and fuel sender gaskets are not interchangeable...

Also, rebuild kits from Denso AC compressors...
