C5 Jake

Does anyone know where I can find this in stainless steel?

Skull size 3.33" x 4.00"

Got one of my C5 Jakes, in aluminum, by Austin. Top notch

. Waiting to hear on another in a different material. Below are photos of it on my hitch.

Unless you have someone that can make one for you on the side, you probably won't find one with the C5 flags on it. Since the Jake was a C6 item, about all you will find from vendors is ones with the C6 flags.

I agree with you, but hoping there is someone out that could do it. Giving CF first shot. If not, I'll try local talent.

Go diggin through the "search" function. I've seen it here before and it has been done.

Guy did it on stainless steel. It looks great. I wish I had copy/pasted a pic of it, but I have my own modified Jakes.

I love em!

I think I can get it into a CAD file. From the CAD file you could get some on to laser cut it. I know a guy with a laser. If I can get it into CAD I'll see what he can do it for.

Brian, I like what you've done.

I have installed an 1¼" receiver hitch on my Vette for hauling my bicycles on a bike rack. When not in use this will be on my hitch plug, doubling as an exhaust plate/enhancer. Among other possible uses.

I've got the outline in CAD but it's going to take some tweaking to get it to look right.

There's a guy on here that makes these on Exhaust plates, did you search "Jake exhaust plate"? That might bring up something.
