Taggy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Well seeing as I had bad luck with a set of Wossner forged pistons, i have decided to donate them to the club so they can be made into trophies for JAE, if you think its a good idea of course. Thought it would be a good idea to mount and engrave them, got spare rods to put them on, maybe one could be passed from person to person each year with a new engraving of their achievement for nostalgia. If you think its a good idea post up and let me know who will be in charge and I will get them sent to the right admin. As long as you promise no one sticks them in their car ha ha Edited March 26, 2013 by Taggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hou Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Fantastic idea, and could get them engraved each year with the winner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 SWeet idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The main prize should be mounted on a wooden circular base with a felt bottom to stop scratches. Should be thick enough to have a a piece of metal stuck to it with the winners name, car and year of win. This gets passed onto the next person with a new engraved piece added.

Taggy Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Sounds like a plan, well if the mods and admins decide who to send them to, you can organise getting them sorted who ever is good at being creative to mount them i guess is best I dont mind giving them to Trisk to do it.

ryan lang Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 can it not just be welded to a metal base? keep the tatty used look about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 I guess the one that gets passed from person to person you kinda want big and bulky with a chunky base just so the person doesn't lose it and also gives it back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The big one could have a m6 bolt welded to it, so it could be tightened by a nut underneath the base. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I guess the one that gets passed from person to person you kinda want big and bulky with a chunky base just so the person doesn't lose it and also gives it back Although not too heavy so it can be couriered if they cannot make JAE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
