Found out today that while the shop was working on my 914-6, one of the flunky's remove & destoyed my sticker from the door-jam. I had made it Perfectly Clear that this sticker was not to be touched and to be protected during the restoration. But now it's gone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I was told that you can get them from Porsche? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I know that George sells replicas, but how do you get them perforated? Pissed & confused in Tampa, T.C. |

Looks like all the numbers are derived from a geometric grid 4 wide and 6 high. Seems like it would be easy enough to make a punch template with 12 grids of 6 high by 4 wide hole patterns arranged side by side with the appropriate spacing. I would take 2 piece of polished 1/4 plate, reference them together and then drill the 288 holes in this simple geometric pattern. When done you put this mylar sticker in between the metal leaves and you can then punch any sequence of numbers you wanted with a tight fitting punch. Wouldn't need a cnc, I could simply do it on a mill with the digital readout. Bet this jig be done built in an hour or two.
All I would need would be the character hole size, the character spacing, the grid size and lastly the reference location of where the numbers are on the sticker. Tell you what, make a photcopy or two on mylar of one of these stickers and send it to me and we'll see if we can make a punch jig. If that works we'll put our brains together to create a toy to emboss the beehive pattern all over the sticker. |
