This may be over my head, or maybe I missed something, but Kevin, I have no idea what you are talking about?!?!

Mason

isn't this what you ordered? The Hieco Lock pin? Or am I off in left field again?

OK, I got it, yes I ordered the Heico pins. I didnt know about the GB on Swedespeed, so I paid full price....

Ok, what I was originally asking is: the piece (with the Hieco logo on it) that just attatches to the peice of wire, that snaps onto the mechanism that pulls it up or down, depending on if you doors are locked or not. Since you have the Heico Pins, I'm asking you, do you think you could post some pics of the Pin, and the wire that it attatches to? (at least there is a wire in the 850 and 70 series, I could be way off on the 40 series) That way, I could get a good look at it, (without taking my door panels off) and see if I could just make my own pins out of stainless stock that I have laying around my work.

OK I got it. On this car, they actually screw on to the wire/pin. I will do my best, but it will be hard as I have a bad camera and it won't be able to see down into a hole the size of a nickel. I will post them by Friday night.

Process is fairly easy tho'
1.)Unscrew old pin
2.)use screwdriver to center wire/pin inside door to the middle of the hole
3.)Quickly stick the new pin over the wire, thru the hole and screw on as fast as possible.
4.)Screw until you get to desired height and logo direction

Hope this helps, check friday for my (probably) crappy pics!

If you want I can mail you a stock pin too so that you can measure it. If you custom make some, I would be interested in seeing how they turn out! Keep me posted. I, unfortunately, lack the skills and equipment to create pretty much anything auto related.

Yeah, it would be so cool if you could make them and then put the R logo or T5 or something. I would be interested in purchasing some/donating $ to you if so.

Good ideas! I'll keep that in mind!

[mase001]

Or, you could throw a S40/S70/C70/850 on them and make them model specific. I bet you could sell em like hotcakes....

[Veneficus]

They need to put Heico stuff for the other models too.

I agree,... heico is turning out some high quality looking goods.
