I am interested to see if there would beany interest in the outer section of the grill badge. I am in contact with a person who seems interested in casting one for myself and having it chromed. I asked the cost and he said he didn't think it would be too much. My thinking is that once a mould is made it would not be hard to make more.

No real progress yet. It will be a couple of weeks before I see the person concerned. I will take a sample to him for use as a mold. I will take it from there. The process could take a couple of months as I live a few hours away from where it could happen and only travel to that area about once a month. I will post when I come up with something.

I dropped the sample surround off to the chap this morning. He said he should have a price in around 2 weeks. His comment was that it seemed a reasonably easy surround to make.

I picked up a bit of chroming from the plater this morning. He is reasonably certain he has found a chap who is willing to cast them (apparently someone that does nice work] but is still waiting to get a price from him. Hopefully will not be long before I have some details. A previous foundry that he lined up was not willing to do the job. I check frequently with him.

Thanks for the update, I am sure that once a suitable reproduction is made there will be substantial interest.

Still no news about the surround. He is very busy but assures me he is still working on finding a casting person for me.
