Intake manifold porsche inscription

[Wheeljack]

I will probably be making some test plates sometime during the next few weeks to see how I like things before I actually do the manifold about three weeks from now. I will post pics of the results, and if anyone wants a plate, I can likely send a few out.

Well, i want a plate if you can make on!

Would it not be better to mill down the surrounding material so that the letters are raised? That way if you use an aluminium plate you can either polish, bead blast or paint the letters.

unfortunatelly the manifold is in greece and i dont anyone there that can do that...

You can cut it into whatever material you want and whatever thickness you are after. i would think aluminum to be the choice for multiple reasons. the original .jpg shows a milled depth of about .77 mm (.031") and a plate thickness of 3.18 mm (.125"). Again, you could make the cut depth whatever you want (up to about .05" in the small text) and the 'plaque' thickness somewhat thicker to allow welding or whatever you're planning to do. I would recommend milling the design directly onto the manifold. Then a bead blast or something to unify the texture. Or leave it if you're filling it with a contrasting color. Or leave it as is to provide a contrasting texture. If people are interested, I can provide the aluminum 'plaque' to be installed onto existing manifolds either with welding or high temp epoxy.
