Another thought is to keep your eye on Ebay. Originals show up there
frequently, they seem to go for as much as the repros and of course have
wear and tear for the most part, but at least the pegs should fit the holes!

Thanks for all the suggested alternatives. I was sort of hoping that
someone
might know of a vendor somewhere out there in Triumph-land that still had
some
badges that actually fit like they're supposed to. No such luck, eh? FYI,
someone contacted me offlist with a reasonable question. How do I know my
badge holes are original? The original old badges (which have since gone
away) were on the lid when I bought it, and, like the rest of the car, I
took
the lid down to bare metal, so there's really no question that the lid is
right, but the repro badges are wrong...
