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. |

Hi Wilhelm, I'm certainly not doubting something you have on hand but when I enlarge the pic the numbers do look like they've been punched out not printed. In the pic you can see what appears to be remnants of where the perf has not gone cleanly through (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
maybe they used different methods on the early cars; my '73 & '76 - both perfed Hi Andy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) I believe the labels would have been manufactured for VW/Porsche with the 'background' circles already in place; the factory only would have added the VIN/Date. I own a printing company and see these type of patterned labels all the time where the blank label stock comes with a kiss-cut pattern like this. Unfortunately the aftermarket ones are already cut to size and almost have to be done by hand as the die-presses would not be able to grip something so small. Maybe someone out there has an old Heidleberg - you could duplicate the circles and pin holes exactly with one. The brass die might cost $150-$250 though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
