HPH has this badge for sale on Ebay for the LOW Price of $199.99. It states that they do not know who manufactured it. SO, if your have a little money you want to burn.

Just happened by this thread so thought I'd set it straight. I have an identical emblem which I purchased several years ago. Even the nylon mounting nuts and washers and the instruction sheet pictured on the Ebay auction are identical.
This emblem was made by William Bowen who lives in Ventura, CA. I first saw his emblems at one of the Porsche gatherings years ago at the Ventura Fair Grounds.
Unlike most of his other emblems, mine and the one pictured above, is not metal but black epoxy. The detail is on a level with factory parts.
I sold that car, but now have a small-block conversion nearing completion. I emailed Mr. Bowen to see if he can supply the metal or plastic 914-8 emblems, but he could not give me a definite answer since he seems to be semi-retired and most of his work involves making prototypes for various customers.
