I may have missed the message or dropped the ball last year. Sorry folks. The one on Ken's boat is aftermarket and is held on with 2 screws, one at each end. The way I imagined one being made and installed was that the original plaque would be ground flush and the new metal plate fitted over top. For attachment I felt like welded on studs (in place of screws) that went through the hull/deck was most favorable. I don't know any of the engineering hurdles. To be honest, an automotive body shop would just use 3M VHB tape.
The pictures should be sufficient to create a scale model. The height is roughly 2.5 inches. I'll try to get real measurements asap so that the scale can be applied to achieve the correct finished size. https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B8pEh5lnvP1yUklxR0VXQUd0WjA/edit Josh On Jan 4, 2016 11:24 AM, "david via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > This topic came up last year and I will put forward the same offer. > > I own / work at a shop that has CNC machining capability and 3D solid > modeling expertise.
