PCA Badge Holder
I recently bought a classic enameled PCA badge. I have been a member for almost 30 years, and have enjoyed the events and the people.
Anyway, back in the day, people would attach badges to the engine lid grill with through-bolts, or to brackets bolted to a bumper. Neither would work easily with a 991, so I made a bracket to hold the badge "floating" above the engine lid grill, with hidden fasteners.
Here is the badge, about 3 inches diameter, and hardware as delivered:
Here's the blank for the badge holder, drilled for mounting hardware:
And the holder bent into shape:
The holder mounts to the bolts for the engine lid latch (only touches the car on the latch surface):
After painting and mounting the badge (both machine screws and double-stick tape):
And done:

Nice work. Good post. You're about 50-60 years ahead of your time. When I see these badges on 356s, I think it looks cool and nostagic. On the 991 it looks a little too soon.

Thanks, everyone. A bit busy right now to start any manufacturing.
I will commit to publishing a precise plan, for any DIY. Got some travel coming up, so it may take a couple of weeks.
