Yeah, a bit modern-retro. But that's how I spec'ed out my car.

When I was working in the lab, we had a model shop. I could have easily made it. But now I'm retired and have no such options.
Where can I get this bracket made?
Would-be Porsche acc'y suppliers need to check this out and offer this bracket!

I like it! I already have the badge but had not considered mounting it on a 991.

With a proper template it would be a simple matter to cut the bracket out of a steel sheet by using a bandsaw.

Hi, guys. I promise a template tomorrow. And then we can talk about licensing fees.

Here's my original cardboard template (on a grid with 1/2 inch squares) and a pdf file (print this on 8.5 x 11 for true scale).

Thumbs up

Awsome job, we need more people like you. Its almost impossible to find things like that and if you can they are really expensive. You are a credit to the Porsche forum.

Someone with extra time on their hands should make a batch of these and sell them to us here, which I assume would be very easy for someone with the tools and materials!

Just saw this. Made something similar for my '18 T to hold two badges but had a stress fracture after about a year due to using thinner ALU. Really like this one but would also suggest some dense foam on the back to protect the plastic grill from impact flex.
