1967 Dash emblem 3d file?

[srhenson]

Hi from the US.

I'm needing some help on a T5 dash emblem for my 1967. I am curious if anyone can help with either the measurements or maybe even a 3d file or Acad drawing of the emblem. Due to a shoe string budget, I am going to try to fabricate my own emblem, unless I find an older used one.

Also If I knew the font used for the "T5", I could possible cut it with vinyl and then etch a piece of aluminum.

Thanks for any help!

Hi from Germany:-)
the emblem is 130x25x6mm. User 66con had a project running with reproduction in Rumania with a T-5 owner for a repro. He may update us on the status. It will be however not cheap.

Thank you Wolfgang!

Can you answer is the back flat or is it inset, if so do you know how much? I assumed that it s, I felt like it probably set on top of the molded Mustang emblem on the dash panel.

I was able to find another source but it was out of my budget.

There is an inset of about 1mm.

If you want a budget solution you could take the later Grande emblem, however it is 125x20mmx4mm only.
Otherwise the 3D-Cad is fairly easy for the base plate, the embossed is more difficult, the repro was CNCmachined, thus the higher costs maybe, yet originals run for 250 Dollar with a trend towards 350 and more.

Thank you Very much Wolfgang!

You have been most helpful, I have access to cnc equipment and so hopefully I can replicate one.


I understand now why the other one cost so much. I wasn't sure how it was built. I have Ebay setup worldwide to monitor if any are put up for auction, but I'm not expecting to see any anytime soon.

Thank you again!

Hello Felix, I wasn't sure at first that T5Owner was referring to you, but I soon figured that out. Your pic of the emblem really shows the workmanship that went into it. It looks great!
