Not sure where to find it, but there was a recent thread regarding the emblems. Some one was making them out of vinyl, someone posted a link to download the Porsche Font, etc.
I've long looked for an "8" that was close and couldn't find one acceptble so I had a pair of corvette crossed flags, I thought was cool.
I've recently noticed the Jeep cherokee has a V8 logo that is about the same size and close in font. It may be a stick on too so you could seperate the out just the 8 if you want to. I've been meaning to take a 914 emblem over to the Jeep dealer and see how they compare.

Thanks Bruce -
I have been holding out for the emblem similar to what Bowen was making -
It looked/felt/essentially was the real deal...

How much was he charging for these? I might put them on my list of things to cut out when I get my CNC mini mill up and running... (eta end of this month)
