Teriann,

I made a badge bar from a chrome piece I had laying around.

It is secured with the 2 bolts on the top of the over-riders.

I have 2 Raydyots mounted + the autox badge.

This bar has been on the car for about 30 years.

Similar setup on the TR4 but secured a bit different due to the forward opening 
of the hood. http://www.triumphowners.com/1330
