Shouldn't those letters be the other way around ... ?

(just kidding!)

I presume you pressed the original flat in the centre panel and then used a new die to press the new letters. Looks a neat job. The only danger is if the metal gets too stretched at some point that coincidentally is on a letter edge in both words, but the easiest way to find out is to try it. Looks good!

hi cdb15
nearly guessed correctly, but not quite,
it was stretched originally with a die press from factory ,
and in fact the reliant pressing has been shrunk back to is original state,
and no its not repressed in with the bond logo, i did it another way, but thanks anyway

Well if the RELIANT has been 'squashed flat' as it were, and you didn't then stretch out the BOND letters, and if you haven't added a second thickness to the central panel pre-pressed with BOND as per rogeru7, then either you've added individual letters B, O, N and D to the now flat central panel, or you've cut out the central panel and welded in a complete new panel piece, pre-pressed with BOND.....

OR....

it's a hologram, and the entire cover is in fact not really there...

OK, go on, then, I give up!

mybug: Searched and spooled through every image/video/old ad I can find on the internet, I'm thinking that PTO 365M is not around any more. May be resting in a shed, but given the small and tight-knit Bug community, I'd have thought that someone would know it.
