This is a teaser of a pre-production sample. It's been in hand for a total of 3 days now. Top one is 35 year old OE, bottom is the new one.
The tool needs to be polished better in some areas but the fit is amazing. Looking at having new ones for sale sometime in the next 30 - 60 days.

You da man! That's something the 944 community has needed for years! I'm trying to remember -- do you need to de-solder and remove the two push button switches to get these on and off?
Lol your personal insta. I'll just call you in a minute I forgot I have your phone number.

Brilliant! Sign me up. Do a group buy here and I'll add it to the newsletter and even underwrite a number if needed, etc.Rennbay wrote: Fri Jan 27, 2023 11:34 am Redesigned so the new faceplates slide over the switches. You will have to break your old unit to remove it but the new one goes on.... like butta![]()

I was planning to send out a carpokes email newsletter this weekend -- if that's not too soon for you, I can include details on the offer. Otherwise, figure another 3 or 4 weeks for the next email... I can run a banner ad too if you want. Either way, just let me know what you need from me -- happy to underwrite any deal that helps bring folks into Carpokes. This part is too esoteric for the big mfg's, but something the diehards have wanted for a long time -- so happy to help however I can.Rennbay wrote: Fri Jan 27, 2023 11:55 am @Tom
Absolutely! I'd be down for doing a Carpokes only initial sale price too.

Gotcha -- keep me posted.Rennbay wrote: Fri Jan 27, 2023 12:12 pm Probably on the next letter. These are just tooling samples and I still have to make some adjustments before production.
