Couldn't help myself it was just in the way it was worded I just had to say it

[bootlegger]

Do you mean one like this?

If you can get some made I'll put my hand up for one my ute tailgate looks naked.

God who would have thought you could write so much about a car badge.

I'm on the hunt for one of these rare beasties too... so if someone does reproduce one I'm keen to order!

I'll put my hand up for one too!

[dickiep]

are these going to reproduced? im looking for one for a christmas present. how much and when?

[bootlegger]

I need another one for my ute. I'm pretty good at scratch making parts for my models and thought I might cast one up in resin. It won't have the mounting lugs but they can chrome plastic no problems. I could make a few more if anyone was keen. I know its second prize but at least its an option.

i am trying to fix the break in my FB badge, does anyone know what metal it is I have tried using silver solder and a rane of other items but not having any luck.

I will do a vaccum form of the badge with a view to making some if I can not fix it.

Rare Spares will surely be onto it

I have flicked a few emails to the repo people at rarespares and they reckon if they get enough interest they will produce it, I have been emailing joex@rsp.net.au
if anyone wants to send a request

Otherwise Im keen to buy a repo if someone has looked into that further or a broken badge as there is an old boy over here has fixed a few here.

yesterday I made a mould to cast some FB Boot badges. By the time I get back to my workshop in the morning it should have cured. I am going to cast them out of resin and then get the chromed. As yet I havent worked out how to cast them with the pins but worst senario you can urethane them on.

I found a Silicon mould product that will withstand the heat of a low melt alloy so there is a chance I could make them in metal but Im not sure how they will chrome. Any way fingers crossed it works.

I have a few NOS ones around still in the boxes. Could have negotiated into the parcelshelf deal with the std trim + tasman caps.
