Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Original on the top....alittle communication problem with our foreign friends.....they thought the out emblem was silver.....it needs more curve, and also it needs to be alittle golder in the emblem.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Obviously i will have them make changes....might also have them do the 92-95 once I see they have matched the curve.
Let me know if there are any other change suggestions.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
WOW, that is pretty Lee. When you get the final details figured out, you will have a nice product.
I would be interested in a version that is not curved so I can attach it to my tool box. How about a Christmas tree ornament? How about a necklace? Don't you hate it when people "help" you with you product development. Jim |

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Looks good, But the bowtie is a touch too tall I think

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
I think it might be that the black border isn't thick enough. The total dimension looks similar though.
Nice looking emblem! A few tweaks and it'll be hard to tell which is which (except that one looks new)

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
I sent in the change requests......for $15 I think it will be darn close and a pretty good deal.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Here is the response from the emblem company......looks like for some reason the ridge/ring has to be soft enamel.....see my note, I think I can coat the emblem in high temp paint and "seal the soft enamel.....your thoughts?
I have heard back from the manufacturer. Let me know if you have any questions and what you think so that I can get back to them. 1. We can curve the emblem more.: Curve needs to match exactly if possible 2. The emblem can't be painted black with the hard enamel. If you need it paint black, we will need to use soft enamel, which is same as the sample, and it can't bare the heat well. Pls note. This could be an issue, I wonder if they use soft black, maybe I can then coat that in high heat clear coat.....might preserve the black. 3. The yellow cross was same size as the sample; it looks wider because the colors are full and flat on the cross. The sample is recessed with color, so it looks like ours bigger than the sample. How do you think? Pls advice. Thank you. ok 4. I am afraid that we don't have many choices on the colors. The hard enamel (solid powder) is different from imitation hard enamel (mix by different colors). I found two colors that close to the color in the cross of the sample. But they are transparent colors, not solid colors. Will that be ok? pls see attached and let me know which one you need. Thank you. 237 looks correct Thanks.....
