[Shotimes] Yamaha Badges on

[Michael S Wojton]

The chroming part is what worries me.  That's likely to be pretty
expensive.  I thought stainless, and then polish it.  Not as easy
to machine then.

I'll throw a sketch together.

I wouldn't think that would be very difficult to turn those up out of steel
and have them chromed.  If you have a print of them, send it to me and I'll
see if I can find someone to make some up and how much for how many.
