VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 Tire Cover Bowtie

I sent the Chevrolet emblems from my1934 Master spare tire covers to S & H Chrome Plating in Madison, Tennessee to see if they can replate them without removing the original blue vitreous enamel, and they did...for $10.00 each.

Nice! And what a price......

All the Best, Chip

Thanks, Chip. I don't know if it was the light or the camera angle that makes them look deformed, but they aren't.

Wow. How did you get them off?

Jaw33, I carefully drilled the rolled-over portion on the back of the emblem until it was flush with the tire cover metal. I soldered a copper wire into the hallow center of the protrusion on the back of the emblem for the plater to attach his wire. When I received it back from the plater, I melted the solder and removed the wire. I plan to reattach the emblem with E6000 adhesive.

Thanks Bill. Very helpful information. Ive always wondered if anyone had a way to reattach it like original
