    Mike,

    It's great to see these small run parts being made and it's very cool that this is THE place where we constantly see them appear.

    I'd like to offer a bit of constructive criticism before you run off a number of them and I hope it's ok...

    1) The 'MADE IN' on the top of the original stickers is smaller point size than the rest of the text. It's hardly noticeable but it is there.

    2) The font is close but still a little off. It's most visible in the 'S' 'C' and 'D' characters but most if not all of them are a little different. The font Porsche used back then should still exist we just need to find it. If we can't let me know and I'll hand draw the letters for you. I just need a very, very flat scan or exceptional photo of an original sticker.

    This is the decal/sticker

    I would say that the font used on the non riveted decal and the riveted plate are the same only in the negative image. I would also expect the height and width dimensions to be the same as the riveted plates. It appears to me that they attempted to implement a lower cost solution that didn't live up to expectations..

    Man, I'd love a couple of these for my 70 as well...

    I would be keen to get two of these for my 70S.

    My build sheet shows Silbermetalic. What paint code would this be.

    It could be included in Cam's postage together to oz.

    Thanks

    Thanks Carl, when I saw you and Cam were interested (among others), I had to get involved. That's as good as I can make it with the photo posted by gled49, those fonts aren't available any more, to adjust minute differences (you wouldn't notice), I would need a high res scan.
