inventory at a 60 to 85 inch radius to fit the shroud profile.
I would think the badges were manufactured with this curvature
before the chrome plating and <span style="color:red">CLOISONNÉ</span>

have had manly original badges restored by P-D Enamels

the process they use to replicate original badges like
the Healey winged ones is Cloisonné. They have seen a

exactly as-new. They agree that the red ‘fill’ was

at old defective badges. Where the color has started

because you are looking through a glass and can
identify separation from the backing. Where it is

<p><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">These
enameled emblems are often, <b><span
style="background:yellow">incorrectly</span>,
referred to as <i>cloisonné</i></b>.
Cloisonné is an enamel process in which
separate bands of metal are bent then
applied to a base. These labor intensive
bands encase the enamel and create the
design. <span style="background:yellow">I
have yet to see an automobile emblem
done with cloisonné.</span> The process
that is used is called <i>champlevé</i>
(pronounced shomp´-leh-vay).</span><span
style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The
champlevé technique involves applying
enamel into depressions in the base metal.
These depressions may be etched, engraved
or, in the case of automobile emblems, die
stamped. The stamping process can also
include the beautiful design work that
shows under transparent enamels.</span><span

<p><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Historically
the word enamel meant glass but today it
seems to refer to any shiny color. The
correct terminology is <i>vitreous</i>
[glass] enamel. It is a true glass that
melts and fuses around 1400 degrees F.
Enamel can be obtained as opaque,
translucent or transparent. The colors are
created by the addition of metallic oxides
to the glass.</span><span

try and clear this up. As I understand it,
the "flat wings with the Austin-Healey

don't know when it stopped), had red paint
of unknown shade in the etched out
lettering. Along came the larger badges

to really screw us up, those badges returned
to red paint of unknown shade, seemingly
during BJ8 production. As was true with
almost everything involving our cars, the
exact change VIN number for all of this is
largely indeterminate, at least as far as
trim pieces are concerned...oh, and some
major body parts, like wings with one or
two signaling lights, swag lines, whatever.
Reliable reports (from D.M.H.!) state that
the guiding principle in assembling our cars
was "use up what was on hand".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
