I've got a brother-inlaw that has a sign shop. some of the tools he uses makes letters. He makes signs for doctors offices and very big stuff using a table with a router driven by a computer. he can make letters out of any type of material. If you would like to make something special for your hummer. contact a few sign shops. If anything you will come away with the font and its size. Let us know if you find our.

There is a guy on ebay that sells the bumper letters in vinyl. Dont know if this helps you, I remember the cost being @ $25.

There is no related font. I had my designer measure the bumper recesses and he drew them in "Autocad". He converted them to a DXF file and then imported them into a G-code program. This was installed in a wire EDM machine and they were cut out of stainless and then plated. I know, why not just buy them? I have the "stuff" and like quality. If anyone wants the files, specify the format and give me an email (files are large).

Max I was talking to Big C about doing the same thing except I was going to digitize a set and wire them from 3/8 SS plate then bead blast them.
Give it a different look.

Hey Max:

Would love to have them.

What formats do you have available, MS Word?, JPG, gif?

Autocad, G-code, DXF, Mechanical Desktop...
These are all engineering programs and are used
for CNC machines and EDM cutters. Can be used on laser cutters and flame cutters also. They are not great for viewing.

Max, I haven't been in autocad for a while but can u export out of AC to an .igs file.
If not i'll need a .dxf file.
I'll PM my email address.

max, Thanks for the .dwg's. I plotted them out to full scale and will take scissors to them and see how they fit on the bumper, (just to double check) and then send the .dwg's out to a vendor who owes me a favor

Thanks again

Hey Max:

Ed who owes u a favor, do they have a wire machine?

[H2Finally]

Max, I'd appreciate the .dwg also: h2finally@cox.net. Thanks!

OK, I sent out to all of the above. Could one of you figure out how to post the files so that all may download them without me emailing eveyone. Also, when anyone is wire EDM cutting them, you can stack a bunch and cut a whole bunch of them for only the extra material charge. The better the material, the better the results. SS or aluminum work great.

[Easy Ed]

You are a popular guy max

DURAMAX TIM, Got a couple vendors that do laser cutting to 3/4" thick and one of them does water jet cutting also. Waiting for an e-mail response from the one who does both to see what he can do

OKAY GUYS HERE IS THE FONT !

TYPE "HUMMER"
Highlight the text
right click over the text
Select Font
Click the font tab
Select Franklin Gothic Heavy (for the font)
Change the font size to 20
Change the style to Bold
Click on Character Spacing Tab
Change the scale to 150%
Change the spacing from NORMAL to EXPANDED
Change the spacing from 1pt to 2pt

I gave this to forum members back in the early days - check some of my oringinal post!

[Easy Ed]

max, Not complaining here, far from it but looks like there may be a difference in the letter "R". The best way to explain it is to look at the two links I posted below. One is solid and the other (like what is on mine) has the need for a "hole" in the letter. No problem, I"ll get the digital calipers out and take some measurements and edit the drawing this weekend.

Hum2..Sent to both emails.
Hummer Man, where did you find or how did you figure out the font? Would of saved me a pile of time measuring. Is there 2 types of bumpers as mentioned by Easy Ed?
