Does anyone have the measurements or a picture reference on the factory placement of the rear emblems?

michael,

Do you plan on drilling holes? Give Sean a holler, maybe he can make up some vinal ones for you.

I made my own from a sheet of black vinyl. The look great and you can make whatever you want out of them. Exmp: Mine say 914-6 2.2 and they look like something the factory would do. I don't have a plotter or anything so it took me an hour to cut the numbers out.

Thanks.

I dont plan on drilling. I have a crazy idea of taking my orignials and making a mold of them. This way they will not have the pegs and will be flush on the back. I will be able to use 3M emblem tape that most manufactures use and not have to drill!!

That is a cool idea. It would be neat to have numbers molded in black plastic so people could put together thier own emblems. Just sell numbers.

914-8 5.7
914-6 2.7
914-4 2.2

Or whatever. The ebmlems would look factory.

So when can we expect a production run of these?

How about cutting off the tabs and filling it resin?

Thought of that, but I won't get to make a big mess like when I make molds!!

If I make the mold I can at least make more to "play" with if/when I mess them up.

Bottom line is that I dont want to drill!! Spent to much time on the body to drill holes in it.
