Hello all!

I am hopefully going to be able to work on my L15B7 Si-conversion FK7 in full-force sometime, but while I am stuck at home I figured I'd try my hands at some arts and crafts.

Currently in prototype, I will eventually be having these be made by an emblem / awards shop, most likely with alterations and modifications to the text. Potentially a group buy could be in order?

The valve cover Earth Dreams Emblem is 100 mm x 28 mm, with a 3.5 mm radius corner fillet. I have verified fitment with a 3D-printed piece, and would like feedback!

Also, pictures. This thread is worthless without pictures!

An update to this thread:

I have waterject cut the pieces out of 18GA 304 Stainless. I currently have about 10 extra badges, since I made 16. The badges are completely blank, but I am laser engraving them soon. Would anyone be Interested in a CUSTOM DESIGN valve cover badge for their 1.5T L15B engine?

I am interested! I don't have a built motor so the “built“ badge wouldnt exactly be accurate lol. Is there a way you could do one that says just “Si“ and “L15B7”?

Yes, I am taking custom design orders! $30 each plus shipping for whatever design you want. I’ll post a mock-up when I get back to my computer.

I’m planning on using 3M VHB, I’m not entirely sure yet though. Do you have any other ideas? I’m not super familiar with adhesive tapes

I wasn't sure, either, so, figured I'd ask. ?

I haven’t forgotten about this project, I promise. My university where I would use the laser engraver is shut down for a week or two still to allow for COVID safety, so I am unable to get the stainless plate engraved. Rest assured, I will be working on them as soon as I can get a spot!

Have you been able to see if the adhesive holds? I do like the way these look....

Are they anodized? What kind of laser are you using?

Interested if you still got an extra one that hasn't been assigned. Let us know of your progress!
