Tiny cosmetic mod to the Low
Here's what I did last night.
I took the aluminum strip off of the battery cover and drilled a hole through the plastic and the aluminum. Then I wallowed the hole out enough for the threaded stem of the EGA dress blues cap emblem to go through with a snug fit. Then I countersunk the plastic on the backside of the aluminum strip to accept the brass nut that holds the emblem on a cap. A little blue loctite and a pair of pliers and there it was. Put the aluminum strip back on the chrome battery cover and the gold really accents the chrome of the Low (the answer to the Bob).
The only bad news is that I'm going to have to find that old bottle of Brasso that I have around here somewhere.

RE: Tiny cosmetic mod to the Low
Thanks all. I know it isn't a great "fabrication" victory but, I'm telling you, it is amazing how it sets off all that chrome on the Low. I've been thinking about where tomount it for about 2 months. You know, "no wine before it's time" and "you can't rush a masterpiece".
