Mk IV boot lid emblem

[302EFI]

Hello everybody,
   My Mk IV is currently being repainted. In the course of this I would like to change the emblem on the boot lid from the classical 'Cobra' emblem to the 'AC' emblem which many Mk IVs were fitted with originally (the letters 'AC' in a circle, made of chrome plated metal). Does anybody have an idea where I could get one?
   My investigations in the internet have not been successful.
   Best wishes,
   Juergen

Hi Juergen,
   
   Have you tried hawkcars.co.uk ? Gerry Hawkridge can source all kinds of parts, so it's worth looking him up! Hope all is well with you, and will see you in the Summer.
   
   Best Wishes, Andy

Thank you very much, Andy. Will check with Gerry Hawkridge.
   Best wishes,
   Juergen

I think that Steve Gray at AC Heritage may well have these.

Europa spares are also a useful source.  Here is a link:-    www.europaspares.com/106/COBRA_PARTS___ACCESSORIES/COBRA_BADGES.html

I think Jürgen is looking for this one:
   
   
   
   These are not in the europaspares program.

That is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you Peter for posting the picture.

Many thanks to all of you for your help. Following your advise I contacted Gerry Hawkridge and Steve Gray. Gerry does unfortunately not have emblems of this type. As for Steve I am still awaiting his reply.
   Kind regards,
   Juergen

Could it rather be this one that Jürgen is looking for?

   That isn't the Mk IV 'AC' badge.

   Mark:
   Thank you very much for this tip. The badge on the MkVI does indeed look exactly like the one which I am after. I have meanwhile been in touch with Steve Gray of AC Heritage. He is checking his stock of badges and will get back to me within the next few days. Should Steve not be able to supply the badge, I will definitely check with Juergen Mohr at AC Germany.

   Constant:
   Thanks for your input. I am afraid, however, that this is not the original MkIV emblem. The emblem shown on the pic is available at various parts and accessories suppliers such as Europaspares or Finish Line. I was thinking  of using it in case I could not get hold of the original until I found out that it has a diameter of some 3 inches, so it is much bigger than the original. I have seen photographs of early 289 Cobras and AC 289 Sports carrying that badge though.

Indeed Jürgen, the badge I showed is of period Cobras.
   
   Here is a pic of the badges on a Mk IV.

   Exactly, Constant, that's the right one.
