<p>Is it possible to use some good heavy duty double sided tape? Or
is the badge too heavy for that? i know I have heard of it being
used in some places.<br>

<div dir="ltr">The badge mounting holes on the apron currently on
my TR3B (not the original, which was upgraded to this one thirty
five years ago) are slightly out of round. The original style
inserts would never have worked. For a few years I had the flat
spring speed nuts on the mounting posts, and the badge was tight
with no movement. But I hate those things.

<div>A few years ago I threaded (carefully) with a die the posts
on my reproduction badge and it's now mounted with nyloc nuts
and plastic washers. It accomodates the slightly out-of-round
holes quite well. I'm very happy with this approach and would
recommend it for anyone who thinks it might make sense for
their car.</div>

a new enameled hood badge as the body shop had tried to bend
it to<br>
fit the holes and cracked the enamel. The holes on my 62 TR4
hood are not<br>
quite matching up with the aftermarket hood badges. This one
is from<br>
England. Any thoughts on fixing this before I experiment.
Badges ae too<br>
expensive to try and bend the mounting tips. I am thinking I
need to shave<br>
one of the holes on a top or bottom side to increase length
between holes. I<br>
know this may allow badge to shift after install, but what
options are<br>
there? <br>
