More editing, hope this helps. Lots of possibilities from just that first decent 3.2 image.

Summary...
Is anyone still making 3.2 grill badges? I ordered one from pelican a while back only to get my money refunde when they told me their supplier was not making the badges an longer.

Dimensions

Are you working on producing any badges? If not. Any chance you can share the dimensions on the numbers. |

Dan, I have no plans to build these, since I have no access to a CNC milling machine, nor to a 3D printer. Mine is one of the ones Pelican used to sell, purchased from a Pelican who bought it a few years back. Either CNC or 3D printer would be a piece of cake to use to make these, depending on the material you prefer. For aluminum, the CNC mill is the ticket.
Here's some additional measurements. Take them with a small grain of salt, due to the cheap Chinese HF micrometer. Badge height - 21.40mm Width - 84.45mm Numeral height - 21.40mm, same as the badge Numeral width - 35.75mm Space between numerals - 12.95mm Period size - 6.10mm, centered between numerals Period lower edge - 1.50mm above bottom edge Badge thickness including numerals - 6.30mm Badge base thickness - 3.10mm Numerals stand 3.20mm tall on badge On the back side, mine has two small bosses with threaded holes for mounting hardware. The bosses are narrow enough to fit between the grill bars. Mine has a small, 45° chamfer around the edges of the numerals and period, as seen here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1408596166.jpg |
Thanks, Arne.

Quick comment - I do not have badges for sale. I photoshopped those images just in hopes of giving examples that people could share with custom badge makers. Sorry for any confusion.

Ferrariguyma, I am making these badges. They are of 304 stainless steel, hand polished, with an aluminum backer plate powder coated gloss black. We offer different finishes of course, so you may choose what you like. Please email me at kyle@rebadge.com and we will get you whatever you'd like!

How about posting some photos, Rebadge

3.2 badge
I have a 3.2 badge which I have not installed yet since I am waiting for my tail to be painted. Since Rebadge is based in NJ, I can bring it to him so he can get an exact measurement, if he wants to. Let me know if I can further help.

Have my 2.8 on order with Kyle at rebadge. Woohoo

Hi guys! Things are moving along, thank you all for the support! I've been making the emblems at 3.25" x .875" as per the recent requests. The most common, but not limited to, finishing has been a gloss black backer plate with polished engine designations. You are not limited to this, though; we offer several powder coat colors as well as some unique stainless finishes. I will be posting some pictures soon of the pieces we've made recently, before we ship them out.
JQ911: I would love to get together to pull some more measurements for verification, as well as some R&D on the spacing of the mesh grilles [we'll be designing and offering bolts and nuts for mounting our badges in the weeks to come]. Please email me so we can schedule a meet up and pin point the specifics that are necessary. Thank you very much! kyle@rebadge.com |
Hi guys. Here's a quick shot of a 3.5 we did for Otto. The designation isn't touched; he requested bare metal so he can color match other trim.
I will have more pictures up soon. Thanks! http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3...psamescrkl.jpg |
Not bad. Compared to my 3.2 emblem from the former supplier, I think the verticals need to be a bit thicker, as indicated by the red lines. The verticals should be the same width as the curl on the lower bit of the '5' or the upper and lower of the '3'.
Just my opinion. Once on the car, that's going to look pretty good as it is there. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1410838043.jpg |
Thanks Arne, I'll update it immediately and get all the dimensions locked down soon. Once I have all the proper dimensions for each number, it becomes a very easy drop and replace system, design-wise.
|
I am very pleased with the results - Kyle, great job, man!

Nice work Kyle!
|
I finally had time to mount mine yesterday. Met Kyle a few weeks ago and he got some measurements on this badge. Hopefully, I'll get an extra one if its already available.

Good day gentlemen!
I want to thank you all for your support, we've received a lot of orders lately, exclusively through this thread. I know Draden has been waiting patiently through the redesigning process, and the long lead time at the machine shop, so we will be expediting the finishing and shipping as quick as possible. As I receive and finish the badges, I will be posting pictures to showcase the font for all of the different designations, as well as our designs for the old RS and Carrera badges; a special RST piece is in the works as well. This includes, but is not limited to: 2.1, 2.8, 3.0, 3.2 and 3.5. Stay tuned for more pictures, as well as a stud and nut application to replace the 3m tape, for a mechanical, and adjustable, fastening system. Thank you all again! Have a fat and happy Thanksgiving! |
very pleased with mine!!!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1417006000.jpg

Wait til you see the final product. It's been 4 months working out the details to get it perfected. You guys won't have to wait like that. I just really was interested in giving him time to develop it and wow was it worth it. the badges are so perfect the font, size quality etc and trust me when I say his work is better than any previous photo seen on this site. Again I hope he posts the picture of the one he is sending me. It looks awesome.

Any news on the updated design with the rear mounting studs?

2,8 Decklid Badge
Today, I received my 2.8 badge from Kyle
He did such beautiful work, Thanks Kyle, I could not be happier about the size, shape, quality, fonts, polish it's very high quality and a work of art! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1421622020.jpg |
I agree, Draden, that one looks "right". If I didn't already have my 3.2 emblem from the prior supplier, I would buy one like that in a heartbeat.
|
Hi guys. Thank you for the kind words Draden! I'm very happy you love it!
Yes, the new design is ready to go; I will be getting pricing on incorporating the rear studs within the next week or two. As soon as I have that info I will let you all know. Cheers! Kyle |
Just got my badges from Kyle at Rebadge and had to lay them on the deck lid.
Great quality and interpretation of my back of the envelope design. Kyle was easy to work with-many thanks. Johan http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1422072776.jpg |

Hi Guys!

↑ looking forward to the final product :)

Hi guys. I'm finalizing fabrication and pricing on embedded stud mounts, but I could use a little help.
Would someone please be able to provide spacing/ layout location of the OE studs? I want to make sure that our spacing is perfectly matched for the grilles, and there are no issues when mounting them where they belong. Any help is much appreciated! |
Rebadge- sent you a PM.
|
Anglophone you have been contacted, thank you!
I'm still looking for stud spacing on the back of the badges. I should have pricing and lead time next week, and I'd like to know exactly how to set them up. Thank you to anyone who can help! |

hi - i don't think that the stock 911 badges had pins - i think they were pressed together from both sides - the replacement badges had pins and the 914 badges had pins - i will look at what i have and provide more info - hope this helps - looking forwards to my 2.1 badge!!! brad in seattle

Hi guys. I have the green light from a second shop to incorporate mounting studs.
I need to know grille slat spacing so I know how to machine the studs and imbed them properly. If anyone is available to measure and provide this information it will be a huge help! Thank you in advance for your time, gentlemen! Kyle@rebadge.com 9736342664 |
Plastic engine grill as used from mid-70s through '89 measures 11.96mm slat spacing on my cheap HF digital micrometer. That would be a really snug fit, so I'd go a touch smaller than that, maybe 11.5mm.

Any plans for a 3.4 badge?
