Badging blues

Listers, I'm having a real problem with the repro Spitfire and Mk3 script
badging that I recently purchased from Spitbits.  The trouble is, they simply
don't fit the original holes in the boot lid.  I snapped the Mk3 badge in two,
which Nigel was kind enough to replace, but the Spitfire badge is a bad fit,
too, and the replacement Mk3 badge doesn't fit either.  I ended up snapping
the Spitfire badge in two places and the pegs are WAY off the holes.  That's
an expensive mistake to make that I ended up eating the cost on.  Can anyone
direct me to a source that might have better quality badges that will actually
fit the original holes??  Otherwise, I'm just going to buy another Spitfire
badge, take a dremel tool, grind off the nubs and use epoxy to glue new ones
on in the proper locations.  TIA

Jeff
