Agreed. So long as you have the old post(?) you should be able to stick it
back and reinforce it slightly with whatever you call your equivalent of our
"Plastic Metal" (a two component epoxy metal).
Good luck!
If it all goes horribly wrong and you need to buy another badge, beware of
the repros that are around, over here at least.....enamel and detail is 100%
except for the hyphen between the "Austin" and the "Healey". Can't recall if
there should be one or not. Anyhow the MkII one I was offered was wrong.
Simon.

Richard. I had several break in the same place and successfully repaired 
them with two component epoxy metal  that you can find at any good hardware 
store. Do not apply heat in any way as it will ruin the enamel on the front.

Good luck. JL
