Emblems

[rob.lafady]

I noticed the other day that my tail trunk has the wheeled Vetter emblems on the side panels, but a non-wheeled emblem on the back between the taillights, is this normal? Or did a po change emblems? Either way, I'm considering buying a wheeled emblem to put on back so all of them match.

It "should" have the same emblems all the way around, but is easy to add them to any trunk as it was pre-drilled for both.

There are several Vetter emblems on eBay.

The few I've seen, while the proper one I'm looking for, are only a few dollars less than one from Craig's website.

Anyone else ever notice how much the Vetter "wheel" looks like a 45-rpm record hole adapter?

I believe it is called a Triskele or Triple Spiral. There is some history behind it and why Craig chose the symbol. I will ask him some more details about it next time we speak, or ever post a question to him. I am now wondering.....

and yes! It does look just like the 45 adapters!

Looky what I found

Well crap, I just looked again and all of my emblems are the post Craig era ones, now I've got to find 2 more, might have to buy Craig's repops.

What exactly are you looking for Rob? Emblems with his insignia? I may have a few.

 

[rob.lafady]

Yes, I need 2 more like the one in the picture

 

[rob.lafady]

Make that 1 more, the rear badge on the trunk is like the one pictured, the two on the sides are the newer type.

I shall look this weekend for you.
