SOLD OUT
Some of you may have seen my research on the factory installed (and dealer parts dept.) red-orange Purolator / Porsche branded oil filters on the Technical Info part of our forum. Here's the previous thread: http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...read.php?81468
Since I've started production on these to be ready in time for the LA Lit Show on 3/1 I figured it was time to put out updates over here in the For Sale section.
To keep it short I'm recreating both types of oil filter (PC34/901.107.203.02/OC61) and (PC260/911.107.764.00/OC54) that would have been put on every 911 from 1964 until the early 80's. So I've bought a number of the Mahle Austrian made OC61 (1964-1971) and OC54 (1972-1983). I found a very close match for the unique Purolator red-orange paint. I drew the graphics and tweaked them further once I had an original of both in hand to create an exact match.

I've just finished painting all of the OC61's. I still need to get the OC54's painted and cured before delivering everything to the screen printer. I had a very successful meeting with them this afternoon and as long as I can get everything to them in time it all looks good to go for LA. They'll need to test a few samples but I felt very confident that they do a good job with applying the graphics.

Two technical updates to note. I am going to make the early PC34's a slightly darker shade of red-orange vs the later PC260's which have a bit more orange to them. The two are still pretty close but I thought it would be fun to match the idiosyncrasies of each that much closer. Second, I noticed that my PC34 is dated 1.70 so the earlier version of PC34 (the later being the updated PC34/1 911.107.203.09) was used until at least the end of the 1970 MY. I suspect since the visible changes match the PC260, the PC34 probably evolved into the PC34/1 in 1972. So I figure the earlier labeling of PC34 will be correct for all 2.0l -2.2l cars.
Here's a transparency of the PC34 graphics on top over a freshly painted OC61. They should be pretty darn close when I get them back from the screen printers.
Like I mentioned before I'm going to try and keep <strike>the price at $40</strike> NOW $12/ea. I'll be more concrete once I get the estimate from the screen printer.
