FREE! V8 Rocker Cover badge

[Barkychoc]

OK folks, I've had some pre production samples made of some V8 rocker cover badges.
The Logo is technically incorrect at the moment and needs a bit more work (TVR Logo anoraks will notice straight away)
They are acrylic resin type self adhesive badges not metal.
They are rated to 80 degrees, which I think is high enough but I want to be sure.
Who's prepared to test one for me on their car?
I won't accept any liability etc etc if it all goes horribly wrong, but I can't see why it would.

The first 4 addresses to me get one free in the post - just report back please with what you think good or bad (Doesn't have to be a V8S but I thought I'd show a bit of loyalty to this forum!)
I will not retain your address.

Mods if this isn't acceptable do your worst.

80 C is not high enough, they can get to over 120 C.

I've done things like this using a soft resin finish over the logo and they survived being glued to the cam cover of my saab turbo. I reckon that gets pretty hot especially above the turbo itself.

Hi Chris
I'll test them for you, I'll email my address

[Barkychoc]

I still have a few left.
It is designed to fit on the V8 rocker cover where there is a cutout for a label - but if you want to give it a go on the V6 no problem.
I don't know what the V6 rocker covers look like in detail so just be careful if it could potentially fall off and land on the exhaust manifold.

Chris Thanks for the labels they look great BUT there 'aint no flat bits big enough on the rocker boxes to stick 'em so if anyone wants them happy to post them on

keep up the good work

[Barkychoc]

Norman is there a suitable flat on the V6 thats smaller?
If so what size?
I'm not worried what happens to the labels.

Thank you, received the stickers today and they are excellent. Norman is right though, there isn't a flat enough spot on the rocker covers on the 2.9 V6 for labels of this size; certainly not on a horizontal plain.

However, I have a spare pair of covers in the garage, when I can get to them I can check to see what size would be suitable. I don't think that they would need to be much smaller.

In the mean time if you or any of the V8S fraternity would like them, I will pass them on. If not, I will find somewhere else on the car to mount them.
