Allen and I were in the UK, for the 60th Anniversary Celebration, we had
the pleasure of meeting Mr. Trevor Jones. Some of you might remember
Trevor, as he was the one who engineered the Triumph Sway bar, utilizing
many TR parts (all readily available to us here), with a few brackets he
had manufactured, to allow the use of a sway bar on our Magnettes.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since that time, Trevor and I have exchanged many e-mails about a
myriad of subjects! In fact, the genesis of this conversation may
have started over a pint . . . . Anyway, we started discussing badge
bars. I have never been that “fond” of the badge bars, such as sold
by NTG (I even bought one from NTG, when in the UK in 2000), but I did not
aesthetically relish the idea of drilling holes into the hood/bonnet to
install it. The NTG “model”, is to the best of my knowledge, the
only one presently available. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I began to fabricate “my own” design prototype, out of 3/4”
EMT, the idea being for it to follow the curve of the front, clearing the
bonnet/hood, and mounting under the driving lights. To me, that
seemed like a cleaner, more classic design. At some point, I
mentioned this to Trevor, who informed me such a badge bar already existed
. . . . in his possession!!!! It turned out to be the badge bar, on
his car, as purchased. At that time, it was off the car, in
storage. Eventually, he found it, and send me some photos:
exactly what I was trying to do. There appears to be only this one
in existence, and the source is not known.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Trevor is a brilliant engineer, and has begun the process of
initially fabricating these for the Magnettic community. Like every
such attempt at these things, the more that are made, the more feasible it
becomes, and the lower the cost. Of course, cost is the paramount
question, and is yet to be determined. VERY ROUGH idea at this
point, is that they would be made of brass, and chrome plated.
Shipping is the big, big question. One possible solution is to ship
a batch of them to one point (I am willing to be that point), and then
ship them internally within the US. I will not bankroll these,
however. My pockets are not that deep, sorry. Our very
rough estimate is that they will be a bit over $100, including
shipping. The one from NTG is currently priced at about $94.xx, and
that does NOT include shipping from the UK. Thus, if the price can
be held to the hundred dollar ballpark, it’s actually about the same
price, as the existing design. FWIW, the “new” design will hold many
more badges.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can send the photos Trevor sent me, but I’m too stupid to do it to
the Group. Let me know individually, and I’ll send them to
you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
