I use Ogden Chrome and never had an issue, YMMV.

To your point of looking original this is not a great plan "A". If you're able to cast the script after shrinkage it will be different hole spacing and it will be bronze not chrome plated...

So if it where me and I was just trying to get something on my fender that looked appropriate I would use the file I provided and get it printed in plastic and use one of the many inexpensive "chrome" looking coatings.
There are many but this is the first to pop up on my search.



If I wanted to have an ultimate cool badging for my show pig then I would send me a PM and I'll machine you some out of brass and send them to Ogden Chrome and have them do their show plate. Either way if one couldn't be found on the secondary market we have options to make them.

Cool, but i try and do everything myself in life as much as possible. If I can get together with a good friend and figure out how to make these things that will be a much more positive experience than doing the whole order stuff on the internet game. I'm confident that I can make it work and when I do I'll probably post a few sets on the classifieds in order to make a few bucks and pay for the fuel.
Custom "gold edition" fj55 badging...

As do I but that's not what you originally implied..
You left us with the impression that Chrome plating pot metal was a lost art and near impossible to have done anymore and that's just not true.
In fact it can easily be done at home if that was something you desire to do yourself!...

I was misinformed, thank you

Your highlighted number is not the actual p/n. See my post above with actual p/n's. That may clear up some confusion.

That might have been the part numbers in the early 80s but not today.

I'm going through this right now.
I haven't seen in person the other style with the two separated emblems on the side.
Are they close enough to mistake as one complete emblem?
Edit: Here is the 3D of J Mack's STL. file. This helps, thanks!

I like the look of this so much better!

So, the 74 and newer 40 emblems are different than the 55 series. Is that what I just learned? I can see the older ones are, but just by 5mm or so for the newer.
