lockheed decal

For now, I lumped all the pre-war cars together, I would LOVE for there to be enough demand to split it into groups (hint...hint, post here about your pre-war Singer)

Hey D'Arcy,

If you mean the one that went into the starting handle hole on the badge bar, talk to Gifford Wright as he ran a photo of one in the Singer Owner, which started a bit of a debate. He may know who has it. That would be a lovely piece of unobtainium to replicate!

starting handle bracket badge

Post by Danish »

Will do. I need a favour though. Would you measure the diameter of your starting handle bracket hole and the depth of the bracket at that location. And I will action this next week. Cheers.

LOL! I should have referred back to our discussion on earlier pages of this thread and your photo!

OK...will do. I have examples of both the early curved badge bar - '33 to '35 - and the later straight type - '36 to '37 to reference.

Cheers. I plan to add a shallow, wide boss on the rear to aid location/ fixing

Here are a couple of badge bars that I have in stock, one the early curved type and the other the later straight type:
Badge Bars.jpg

Averaged out over three - these two and the one on my '36 LM SS - the hole size is one inch and the thickness of the casting at this point is 1/4 inch. Give or take for damage, age, wear and rechroming!

Hope that helps!

Given all three holes have two slots and the starting handle boss has no pins, I imagined that the "S" shield casting had pins on its shank that allowed the casting to slide into place sideways and then be rotated to the correct position so that the pins on the casting shank kept it in place. Perhaps there was some kind of spring loading to help keep it there. Just a guess on my part!

Cheers,
Phillip

Hi Danish, the badge looks very nice! Please add me to the list and for shipping... add mine to Phillip's order as we work at the same location and are not that far away. Nice find and work!

Yet another wonderful find from within our ranks, and a great project.

Is it too bold to congratulate us as a group --or at least the helpful, knowledgeable and talented ones among us?

David, thank you so much for taking the initiative to have this project done.

I would love one of these badges. It seems Phillip is the port of call for shipping, so to simplify things, might my badge be sent to Phillip, too?

He may, of course, pay for it as well.... :wink:

Another order for one from my mate Barry Phillips here in Canada, but he wants some idea of price first.

Fair question...any idea roughly?

No idea just yet. Once I having the vectorwork file, batch prices for cnc plus chroming will be the next step.

A little more on the Lockheed sticker:

Here's an ad I photographed from Tony Raynor's collection when we met at Woodley Park. It give the best view of the sticker I've seen and which most closely matches the one seen in the '35 handbook.

This photo also shows another interesting anorak fact: judging from the screw top rim, the reservoirs were painted in production with the caps on!
