[KiwiBirkin]

Saw your ad the other week, I would love one but having measuered the Westies nose, it wont fit - only got 155mm to play with and I dont really want to modify the nose. Do you have any that may fit?

Rich

EDIT TO ADD

if you cut the outside rim off, what size is the `7`part ?.

[KiwiBirkin]

West7se I could shrink and resize my Autocad file down to suit and see what price a one off would cost, just tell me the maximum height you could get away with as the width would need to be moved to make it look right. and ill get back to you.

The 7 is 135mm overall height.

[West7se]

Hi thanks for getting back to me, just measured it again with calipers this time, its actually 156mm, so I think if it was at 150 this would give me a bit of clearance

Ok thats great thanks

Hey Rich there would be no change in price from the US $$ price & postage which was US $10 so were talking about £45 inc postage from New Zealand

The overall height would be 150mm and the width was brought down to size in proportion to height, I wont be putting any through the laser cutter this week but possible will next week, I have 2 left too sell from the last batch but next week im cutting some full caterham style grills for a local seven builder with his own logo and can run it in with them.

[KiwiBirkin]

Hi guys I have 1 left of these 7 grill badges if any one was keen but was holding off, cost to the states was about US $10 and I think Mondo recived his with 4 days of postage.

im not going to cut any more for a while as im getting some interest for full size grills custom made to order and busy designing stuff on autocad.

[KiwiBirkin]

HI guys I have have just had another 10 of these grills cut and at a cheaper price of NZ $65 plus postage which works out to be about US $43 plus postage if any ones intrested. You can either PM me pr just post here and ill get back too you.

Im also now doing Westfield grills and also full custom grills and have sold a couple in NZ and in Aus ill put up a seperate thread with some pics in.

This is a great item. I ordered one from Stephen, paid via Pay Pal, and received it in 7 days. It came via airmail, and was received in excellent condition. Stephen responed immediately to emails, and shipped immediately upon receipt of the Pay Pal funds.

For the metrically challenged, it is 7 3/4 wide by 7 5/16 tall, and is just a hair under 1/8 thick.

I will post pics when I get it painted and mounted (which may be a winter project)

Stephen: thanks again for the speedy service

[KiwiBirkin]

Cheers for the comments Jerry im glad I could help you out with one, looking forward to seeing on the grill of your car. :driving:

[KiwiBirkin]

Bump.

I have 5 of these left and would like to sell them as I have some other projects under way, if anyone interested in one make a reasonable offer and we will see if we can come to an agreed sale. :)

I got my bage last August, but finally got it installed today.
I welded some #8 screws to the rear of the badge, then seeing that I had actually welded them to the front, I ground them off, and welded them to the actual rear of the badge.
I had some leftover paint from the original build, so I broke out the spray gun...... and then ran to the auto store to get some thinner....... and painted it.

The grill is actually a grill for a flourescent light fixture, and is made of plastic. I got some fender washers, painted them black, and attached the badge with #8 elastic stop nuts.
I changed the oil and filter ( from last year) washed the car, and I am ready for my first blat. Here's some pics.

Nice Jerry. I looked at those but they were too tall for my nose cone. You coming up to the Midwest Se7ens Gathering in St Paul??? Russ

[KiwiBirkin]

Hey Russ I can get a one off done in smaller dimensions but it would cost more if your interested post the size (height) and ill scale it up and get a price for you.

BTW Jerry it looks great on your grill and a good way to attach it.

If anyone is interested in one I have 2 left over from the last run takes about 4-5 days to get to the USA from NZ after payment via Paypal.

Size is 195mm wide x 185mm deep

US $65 + postage

[locost7018]

KiwiBirkin the tallest it could be is 170mm on my car. Russ

[KiwiBirkin]

Cheers Russ I will get one scaled up in Autocad and get a price if it proves to expensive then i can send you the autocad file and you can get one cut in the US from a local fab shop with a laser cutter.

Regards Stephen

[locost7018]

Great. Let me know. Russ

I originally had a "7" emblem in stainless obtained from a UK supplier I found on eBay, but decided that the proportions of the emblem were too large for my Caterham S3 nose opening. So I asked the supplier to cut me one in 2/3 normal size.

I had the 2/3-sized "7" powder-coated in silver, and attached it to the Caterham black mesh grille with stainless safety wire. My opinion is that its proportions suit the S3 nose opening a lot better than the standard-sized emblem.

Attached is a photo taken at last month's Seven Event at scannnon's in Colorado (standing behind my Executive Superlight is Nathan Down, master Caterham engineer and assembler from UK).
