So, I have to inquire of those who have grill badges and/or want one, what
is the standard mounting hardware on such things? I am assuming that there
are 2 threaded posts extending from the back with a drilled metal piece that
goes onto both posts and is secured with nuts. If this is correct, I need
to get a consensus on the location and size of these posts so that I can do
inquiries of the manufacturers I am dealing with.

Rather than posts already attached to the back of the badge, some I've seen
(including my "winged" Standard-Triumph Auto Association badge and my later,
square, Triumph Auto Association badge, have two each threaded holes cast into
the back of the badge. These take normal, fine-thread, machine screws. Get
the appropriate length of screw from your local hardware store, the use either
large flat washers or possibly a thin bar stock (even a scrap of sheet metal
probably would do fine) and some lock washers under the head of the screws,
and you're set. It's worked fine for four years now on my Herald.
