Bronze Nameplate

Post by Geoff Safron »

Hope in the exuberance of new ownership I'm not hogging the bboard these days...

My '78 CD30, hull #97, is missing the bronze placque from the steering box. The original owner mistakenly threw it out in the trash when he was revarnishing the brightwork (doh!). Judging from where the screwholes are, it makes a nice finishing touch to the looks of the cockpit, darn it! Anybody know a way to get a repro of these things?

Probably, the best thing to do would be to measure the outline and where the drill holes are
and to bring that template to a trophy shop. They can order a piece of bronze and then engrave it with whatever you want
