The Spirit of Ecstasy was stolen from our clients Rolls Royce so they purchased another one second hand of the same era but it had a different mounting spigot on it so it would not fit and as old ones are hard to find they came to us to have the socket modified so it would fit properly.
As can be seen below the mechanical workings of these Rolls Royce insigna sockets are quite complex and with all this in the way it makes it a tougher job to hold in our machines to work on.
But we figured out how to do it and machined the socket as can be seen in the next picture
Shown below is a before and after picture so you can seen what was involved.
on the left is the original hole, it had a 3d tapered socket with a shaped cross entry cap.
The new spigot was more of a round pin and it was bigger in diameter.
So we carefully machined the socket so the new insignia would fit properly.
