MAP Sensor Cover
 
Thrown around several ideas.....I thought it would be fitting with the Stillwater plant closing, and if any of the team would be open to using their name.. as a tribute

Lee,

Pretty cool idea. Do you just have dreams of this stuff? I mean when you are sleeping instead of "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" it is "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZR-1"? Keep em' coming...........

Re: MAP Sensor Cover
 
Not a bad idea, there Lee! Are you thinking a stick-on label or an aluminum "name plate" attaching to the cover, or an entire replacement for the cover...??

The name plate - black anodized with etched lettering/numerals?

I'm sure it would sell, and be a nice tribute to Merc.

This would be made of brass and same thickness as emblems and same quality; I would look into having factory stamp the model year and dates or see if I can do them.

Hell Maybe we can talk Jerry into having the factory workers sign them with a etch pen

Keep in mind that the picture here is pretty crude in comparison to what the product will be, I made that with Windows Paint......cutting and pasting

Great idea, Lee. I would also want one.

Re: MAP Sensor Cover
 
I'd be interested if it would help to have a minimum run of placards. Mine is a 91, #1673. Are there records of who built what engine? because I have no idea.

:thumbsup:

This way when I'm at the shows with my C6 ZO6 bros I can say my motor's assembly plate is in plain view!!!!:sign10:

Happy Thanksgiving too all you ZRONER's!

LGAFF 11-24-2011 11:16 AM

Re: MAP Sensor Cover
 
I just need to work out the wording and see if anyone from the plant is interested in getting signature on the plaque....also I need to see what I can do about the numbering.......

I think if we do a preorder they might be able to number them


Other option is for me to get a stamp set from harbor freight and do them myself

Hard to see as the size will not transfer to photobucket from "paint" and blurs the script

plenty of time, they will use my crappy artwork and clean it up into their own format, and then make the mold......

bdw18_123 12-30-2011 09:05 PM

Re: MAP Sensor Cover
 
I could go for one of those - 1990 #2299

You're allowed to use that MerCruiser logo? Or did you get permission already?

LGAFF 12-30-2011 09:08 PM

Re: MAP Sensor Cover
 
uh, yeah sure....

IF they tell me to stop, I would in a heartbeat....I don't really profit on this once you calculate the time put in and mailing, etc.....I did note mercruiser allows you to download their logo for personal use lets face it....if I sell 50 I would be surprised and I am not selling something as their product so much as documenting the history of the engine...

Re: MAP Sensor Cover
 
No, thanks to a few port jobs, I can float the $ in the mean time.....also helps that Jerry carries the emblems also so allows me to do more things like this.....support those that support the LT-5!

Thanks Jerry!

Ok, things are underway, I will actually do the stamping on this side to help keep cost down and so people can order at a later time.....I will let everyone know when the prototype comes out
