some nice countersunk flattop polished stainless screws would look nice.

71swb4x4 · 11-26-2007, 09:10 PM

Those look great!
I would bet 3M makes some double-sided tape that would hold it down.

clemson71guy · 11-26-2007, 09:34 PM

and as for selling these..we have the design programed in the machine haha

70 Suburban · 11-26-2007, 10:04 PM

Great idea! I'm sure there's many members willing to send both $ and stainless!
How about some more details on your new, great invention?

toomanytoyz · 11-26-2007, 10:43 PM

clemson71guy · 11-26-2007, 10:48 PM

ok i guss i could post the picture of the autocad drawing of it with all the demensions of it.
does anyone no how to do that

David Flores · 11-26-2007, 10:50 PM

They sell these for the 60-66 years.

I would guess they would make them for the 67-72 years also.

70 Suburban · 11-26-2007, 10:54 PM

if you post it.. Ill talk to the shop this week and see what I can turn out..I like the simpleness of them... I thin I can make an adapter to my brake and make the slight curve and not a sharp bend

clemson71guy · 11-26-2007, 11:08 PM

yeah that would be first..wouldent wanna break any rules
haha

clemson71guy · 11-27-2007, 12:32 AM

ok i give up i dont think you can post autocad drawings here

C10-Driver · 11-27-2007, 12:58 AM

You should be able to export it from AutoCAD either to a PDF or JPEG format then post those files. If it is drawn in 3D you will probably need to export more than 1 view (Plan, Elevation or Front View and Section).

cstanley · 11-27-2007, 01:00 AM

.zip em up then post the .zip file.
That should
work

Arad68 · 11-27-2007, 01:34 AM

I'd also be interested in a pair.

retodd7711 · 11-27-2007, 05:59 AM

Those look sharp! Post the polished and painted pics.

BigDaddyDave · 11-27-2007, 07:28 AM

I have those in my truck,they do not have the bowtie. I gave $50 BUCKS FOR THEM AT LMC,they do come with double sided tape,not enough to hold them down,I bought extra tape and so far both have held in place.The boetie is sharp!

byrd · 11-27-2007, 08:50 AM

Let us also not forget there is some copyright infringement when you start appling the bowtie to parts you are selling for profit.
