[Healeys] the studs on new Austin of England badges, a question

[Oudesluys]

Do not use the press on spring washers or speednuts. Use a blob of 
automotive sealant/adheasive, e.g as used for windscreens, around the 
studs and perhaps a very small amount under the badge. It will keep the 
moisture out and rust at bay. It will make it slightly more vandal proof 
as well.
