- January 25, 2014, 02:17:28 AMQuote from: jmbo on January 04, 2014, 08:38:07 AMI'm working on it. I have a cast brass baseplate from a mid '50's Royal Enfield. There is a member of this forum who offered to CNC a brass plate insert with a Drifter logo in an Indian type face. I sent him a file and am waiting to hear if he can machine a plate according to the artwork. Here's is what I hope it will look lie.
Hi guys , the CNC guy was me, very sorry for being away. I've been remodeling an old house and it's finally ready, in fact moving last things and my laser in a few hours from now. The workshop has been stacked with gear til the house is finished so I've had no time for any shop work for a few months. The shop will now be about 15 feet from my back door so, happy days are here again, :- ). I'll make a point of getting a tank badge prototype and POW one for Driftr. My apologies guys.

GB my thoughts exactly . Someone on here has to have the capabilities to make these for lesser cost

Do you actually have a set? If they do, how do they fit the tank? That was my biggest obstacle in making up my 800 badges - tank fit.
GB no I don't have a set of these , but had them in my picture file for some time now . I don't have anyone around here to make a set for me . I'll keep an eye out to see if I can find one to match up with the tank . My vision is these would look relatively well on the tank .
