An update on the =E2=80=9Cnew=E2=80=9D badge bar being made.

I am one of those who, for the most part, doesn=E2=80=99t like to =
=E2=80=9Cclog=E2=80=9D up the group messages w/stuff that =
doesn=E2=80=99t pertain to all, or at least most, of the Group.  Hence, =
I have not continued to update the entire group about the new badge bar, =
its status, etc.

However, it seems like some are wondering about badge bars, etc.  There =
is, as most of you know, the somewhat =E2=80=9Ctraditional=E2=80=9D =
badge bar, which is bolted to the front of the bonnet/hood.  =
Necessitates drilling 2 holes in the hood, and IMHO, holds relatively =
few badges, and I for one, am not fond of the look, nor the fact that =
the badge bar ends up looking a bit like a grab handle for the =
bonnet/hood.   Sorry if I=E2=80=99ve no doubt offended some w/that =
design . . . . that=E2=80=99s my opinion ONLY.

Since this has all been stated before, I=E2=80=99ll try to make it =
brief.  While in the UK last year, Allen and I met Trevor Jones, a =
prototype engineer.  Turns out, he has the original badge bar from one =
of his Magnettes, and it is exactly what I was trying to make myself.  =
In short, Trevor had revised and updated the design a bit, increasing =
the arc of the curve a wee bit, to absolutely ensure that the =
bonnet/hood will completely and totally miss the badge bar.  The bar =
will require NO new holes in anything.  It will mount under the driving =
lights, =E2=80=9Csandwiched=E2=80=9D between the driving light and the =
driving light bracket, as found on the front over rider. =20

Presently, Trevor (in the UK) is making progress towards production.  =
The plan is that when Trevor makes another business trip to the US, he =
will bring with him the number for which we have made a deposit.  In =
essence, then, the shipping cost from the UK to the US is pretty much =
=E2=80=9Czero=E2=80=9D.  There will be shipping costs from San Diego =
County to you.  While originally we hoped Trevor might be coming over in =
May, those plans have been moved back, pending his business, etc.   =
There is a group of us who have made a $50. deposit on these new badge =
bars.  We are HOPING the final price to be around $100., plus shppg.  =
Neither Trevor nor myself are making any money on this PERIOD.  If the =
cost is less, then it will be less, and if it is more, then it will be =
more.  The current price of the =E2=80=9Ctraditional=E2=80=9D badge bar =
is more, at least the last time I checked into it.  Once this initial =
batch of badge bars has been received and disbursed, then the remaining =
badge bars being produced will be handed over to a UK supplier, and =
anyone desiring a badge bar after that, will be dealing with that entity =
from that point forward.

At this point, the only photo I have is the original one which was on =
Trevor=E2=80=99s car, back in the 50=E2=80=99s.  I=E2=80=99ll try to =
attach that.  A bit of imagination is required to picture it installed, =
with badges, on our cars.   I have no picture of it installed on a car, =
sorry.

If you=E2=80=99ve already ordered, consider this an update.  If you want =
to order one, please contact me off-group.
