1990 (BRG) LE Gold Leaf gear knobs: good photo needed

Keith · Postby **Keith** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 2:53 pm

I have found someone willing and able to reproduce the gold leaf lettering etc on the 1990 BRG. LE numbered gold leaf gear knob . I am having mine restored at the moment. He is going to build up a computer file of the gear knob lettering etc and then computer cut them in gold on a vinyl backing. If anybody is missing their gear knob, he will be able to apply this to a stock timber momo gear knob , which you then just clear coat yourself.
To get this happening I need a really good photograph of a gear knob in good condition which can be used to form the basis of the computer file for the stencil.
If any owner of a 1990 LE could take a really good photo "" straight on" ( so there is no parallax distortion it would be really helpful!

If anyone is interested in ordering a stencil, let me know. I am not sure of the price yet.

I'm up for one.

Can't really help though as this is what a previous owner did to mine...

Thanks...i already had that one but that photo was not taken "square on" if you know what I mean. I need a really square on shot so it can be used to create a gold leaf decal.
Someone out there..help please!!!

Would be interested in one, and might be able to help with a photo, but mine isn't in 100% perfect condition, but might be enough to start the process (assuming he can fill the gaps/voids etc)

PS - have you ask Mazda if they have a stencil or original copy they could provide?
