Emblem Switch
I bought a new Brushed Titanium emblem for Porsche.
After I removed the speednuts I found what appears to be some sort of rubber washer on them but they were dried and cracked and broke in my hands. Does anyone know where can I find those or a solution to that? http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1376059164.jpg |
I'm no expert but I would try piecing them back together with gorilla glue and then spraying them with that rubber in a can spray. But then again, you can replace anything on the internet. Measure the diameter and search for x mm rubber gasket.
p.s. Please post the link for the Ti emblem. That sounds expensively cool. |
I got it from Wheel Dynamics, I think its real cool looking. I'm trying to take all the gold/amber from the car

That's just sealant. Use a dab of black rtv silicone on the back of each post to re-seal.
|
^ yup, I changed my emblem about 3 weeks ago. Just filled the speed nuts with a healthy glob of auto glue so it will completely seal the holes and screw them back on.
|
won't that create too much torque on the other side when removed? Seems like silicone or glue would bond/harden to the paint.
|
Just a little bit of silicone on the inside of the hood, not the outside (between speed nut and inside of hood).
It just creates a seal around the post holes, not enough to bond anything ;) |
Go to your local hardware store, and head to the fastener isle, there will be a row of thousands of tiny (machine) rubber washers, just find one that has the right size and go.
|
Actually, a washer wouldn't seal around the post and would allow play to develop, possibly even causing the speed nut to fall off. This is why a mildly adhesive sealant is used ;)
Keeps a good seal and prevents the speed nut from backing off. |
I just replaced them when I fitted a new emblem to the boxster ....

The dealer should supply those emblem speed nuts. The early nuts didn't have a rubber gasket and they scratched the paint as a result. I replaced the fasteners with a short length of surgical tubing on my early 911 and 912 restorations. The surgical stuff doesn't harden, is easy to remove when detailing the car, and they hold fast.
