JAWS- Hoopers shark tracker prop info and discussion

I'm revisiting this topic after several years. I'm still looking for the orange battery cap for my Neo-tracker. I currently have the newer brass version but I'd like to make it authentic looking.
I understand that the cap was actually part of the battery back in the day. I found one a while back but the cost was ridiculous. There was some talk of people casting the cap which I don't have the capability of doing. Can anyone help?. I have created the Neo Flasher sticker on metallic paper which I have if anyone needs one. I can also send the template if you want to print your own.

Thanks,
 
Here are the pics of my one I finished this evening.

I am having a lot of trouble getting them without any marks on it at all (see pic 3 as an example) but after a bit of extra rubbing I managed to get it a lot better (still not a perfect as I would ideally want)

The only (sort of) plus side of the marks is that it gives the logo a slight aged look to it.

All i need to do now is make the red end cap to make it screen accurate :D

Hi brother could you please print me the neo flasher sticker x money waitin for you xxx or email me at Wakesea.surf.bum@gmail.com cheers x
 
Dude! Seriously, stop begging repeatedly! It's pathetic. Maybe if you didn't joint the RPF JUST to get a sticker people would have more respect for you and respond. Try contributing to the the community before you start asking for stuff. :facepalm

Seconded.
 
I made a replica label for this prop a couple of years ago if anybody can use it.

11/8/14 the label on the right is the revised label. Thanks to cirrusx1's image of an actual label pictured below I made adjustments to both the size and layout of the font and logo.
Im a little late to this feed. But i am looking for the sticker and a cap
 
I will have to see if I can dig up anymore WOW been while we been trying to recreate them in brass with molded cap but my machine guy has been busy with other projects! Shoot me a message to my site! www.stitchsloft.com/contact
 
My tracker on the deck of the Orca. It was a fun little prop to mod.

Hello, I have an original 70's Neo Flasher with decal on one side that says "Save UR Lif'r". I believe it is the same model used in JAWS. I am interested in selling it, can anyone advice on the value and where I should be offering it for sale. Thank You
