I took a mould from the original and from this made a pattern and had it cast in phosphore bronze at a local foundry.
Phosphore bronze is a fantastic material to chrome plate. I did have two castings made @ £15 each and I gave one to the guy I borrowed the original one from.
I didn't like the ferrari one as it was screwed on from the front.I've altered mine and it bolts on from inside the boot lid. I do have an original gasket for it and that will be used when the car get painted!

Hi Ian
You are the second person I've talked to who has made his own, maybe I should look into this casting thing
