914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Broken Grill Letters & Emblem Prongs

Posted by: 7TPorsh May 13 2016, 10:29 AM

SO I have a couple of letters from the P-O-R-S-C-H-E grill and the 914 back emblem that have had their prongs broken off in half....common problem yes? Not enough length now to pass through the grill or body and be tightened.

These are the gold emblems and in good condition so i want to use them. Has anyone found a good solution for extending the broken prongs on the emblems so they can be fastened on the other side?

double stick tape?

can't really tape the letter to the grill, don;'t want to glue them. There must be a way to lengthen the posts by JB welding something on the stubs.

This looks promising http://www.jbweld.com/collections/epoxy-putty-sticks/products/steelstik-epoxy-putty-stick.

Or sand the nub off and glue flat head screws to it.

Or if you're super talented, drill and tap the nub for a tiny screw and wrap it in that putty.
