Feeler for new shift pattern graphics, etc.

[BMW0299]

I'm trying to find out if there is enough interest for me to make new shift pattern graphics and other on the dash lettering (lights, front fog lights, lighter and rear def).

They would be computer-designed to match the existing type, size, spacing and any curvature as close as possible and produced in white dry transfer lettering and could be applied from pre-spaced sheets by first cleaning out the old lettering and then burnishing the new in the same place.

I have a source and would like to find out if there's interest before I create the art and get some cost ideas. The more demand the cheaper, of course. -Raine

Thanks for offering your services!

How about trying to reproduce the correct tire pressure and oil stickers under the hood? I would hope someone here has a new pristine example that could be scanned..

Another unusual one is the EPA sticker in the cowl on USA cars.

I can certainly look into it. I wonder why the people who make the other labels have not done them. -Raine

Raine -

I purchased a set of underhood stickers but they are not the same as the originals.

Here are two examples

and Frank at 2002turbo.nl supplying stickers you could get a proper replacement set. Make it happen!

For what it's worth the name of the font on the emission decal pictured is Din Schriften.

I got an original 76 with fairly good decals. If anyone wants I would be more than happy to offer to take photos of them!

I do think there is a need for others.

Another one of my unfinished projects. Over the past several years I have been reproducing a set of labels for my '71 using Illustrator. It is a lot of work to duplicate the glaring inconsistencies in spacing, sizes, and formats seen in the originals--and DIN schriften is just a font family name and isn't an exact match for some label info. It would be impossible to economically reproduce the emissions label since it is perforated--a previous conversation with Carl Nelson indicated it would probably be illegal (but who would really care). The only way to easily reproduce (that I can think of) the emissions label would be to screen print a grayed circular grid on silver vinyl (to match the perforations) and then screen the text in black over that. All the other labels could easily be reproduced by screening white on black vinyl material. I decided that copying an original label created too many compromises. This might help someone who has more energy than I presently have for a label project.

I am looking for those now. Yes i would be interested.

[nbcbird]

FWIW--it is technically illegal to reproduce the emission control (EPA) label. I have been toying with the idea for several years.

If you build it, they will come.

A repro of the vin decal on the driver door would be cool.

And these... LaJolla said they don't have the...

Early Tii tire pressure sticker (as on 2760007)

The other tire pressure sticker as found on the same 2760007 Tii...

AND either of the silver stickers, the above emissions and the door VIN sticker.

All the underhood and door stickers as originally on 2760007 Oct '71 US 2002tii.

i have few of theses reproduced in super high resolution and material quality (3M). There was one on the driver door on my 74' Automatic, just under the VIN sticker.

I know they may not be very "popular" but...if you want one e-mail me.
