Hi Pat & Concours people.

Here's something I think everyone will need sooner or later in the life of your 914.

I got these dimensions from George Hussey @ AA. I believe they are correct.

BTW Pat: You may want to post (above) in the nailed file.

Tom,

Great post!

You wouldn't believe (yeah, I guess you would) how many times I've seen the script scattered! Lot's of folks will do whatever it takes ti get the letters spaced to what they think is "clean", but they never are!

O-My, this is a tough crowd. Been caught by the CW Police!!! Another thing to put on my "do" list. Tod914 sent me a personal note & we were waiting for Pat to notice & jeff beat him to it.

Thanks Tod914 for moving the "O" over.

Tom,

I liked the original pic. Left room for a second "O", as in "POORSCHE".

Are those numbers to the center of the letters or the leading edge of them?

Spacing looks great.. but the spelling leaves so much on the "resale table"... look how many hits you get in Ebay and Craigslist when you enter "P-O-R-C-H-E"

I'm getting ready to do mine again and went back and dug up a picture I put together last time I did this. Seems a bit archaic, sure, but the spacing ends up "perfect", and meets the dimensions specified in the above diagram. It's just a lot easier to do this way in my opinion, since you don't have to deal with keeping a tape measurer in place, etc. YMMV.

Where stated, "n full diamonds showing" means at least n full diamonds, but not n + 1. For example, "4 full diamonds showing" might mean that you actually see 4 full ones and part of a 5th one, but not 5 full ones.

I just replaced the letters on my /6 this past week and used this approach again. It worked great, the spacing ended up perfect.

I won't grow hair on my palms for quoting myself will I?

I realize I am following up on an old topic, but I have found the correct spacing for the lettering and thought I would post them for future questions.
