tpow96 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 While following a link from a different TS thread to ebay, I saw a listing for a NOS Mustang/GT-350 LH tri-bar emblem. Now I know there have been complaints about the ones on our cars not holding up well, so I checked out mine very closely and found specks that flaked off. I wondered how close the original casting would be to ours (and figured it would be cool to have a legacy part on my car), so I bid on the thing and won. Wasn't too expensive. Attached are photos of the front and back (next post). The ones that came with our car is on the left. Notice the FoMoCo casting identifier vs. the Scott Drake one. As you can see the prongs were larger and located in slightly different locations, but nothing a drill bit and Dremel cutting tool couldn't solve. I hope this one is tougher than the Scott Drake version under the old adage "they don't make them like they used to." Forgive me if this has been done before on this forum, but I couldn't resist posting something about it. Only us nuts would care about something no one else would even notice (or probably care). -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harristotle Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Great idea! I'll have to keep this in mind as mine will have to be replaced soon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpow96 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Since there seems to be some interest... here's a listing on ebay (I believe they have more than one). NOS LH Emblem -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 My badge is showing even more wear than that one, which is odd as I've only got 12,000 miles on my 2008 and it is usually parked indoors, almost always covered. So I'd have to get my badge from Scott Drake? There are some tiny differences, like the way the rear hoof is rounded versus pointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmike1958 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Anybody know how to take the emblem off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young768 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 They are held on by a simple locking speed nut on the back of each pin. The easiest way to remove the emblem is to remove the radiator cover, remove the billet grill and then you can remove / install the emblem. I tried to do it before without removing the grill but the space between the grill and the radiator is too tight to get you hand in there easily.
