[Tigers] Center grille badge

[Andy Walker]

Hey, guys:

 

Thanks a million for the suggestion regarding my center grille badge.  I used some clear double-sided foam Gorilla tape.  I’ll bet it’ll stay in place with that stuff!!!!

Don't cut the badge, the cuts will show up from the front. If you glue/silicon it on, be careful what you use, some adhesives will mess up the badge paint. I would try a thin double-sided tape.

Hey, everyone:

 

I went to replace my tired-looking center grille badge on my Mk1A with a repro badge, but the repro badge doesn’t have the inset side like the original to accept the stock retaining clips.  If I remove the clips, the repro badge fits perfectly into the hole but there is no means of retaining it there.

 

For those of you out there who have replaced these, how did you affix the repro badge?  I can see no way to attach it by using the stock clips without first modifying the sides of the badge to accept the clips.  Are we left with just using something like a silicone gasket product to hold it in place?

 

Thanks for any suggestions,

Andy Walker
