Thanks Nigel. I like badge bars but not the spindly stalks which come with the badges!!!! That's why I did it this way.
I'll be taking it apart soon to look at fitting a Centenary badge so I'll take some photos.
First imagine a number plate sized piece of stainless steel:
This is the link - item 68
http://www.mgocspares.co.uk/acatalog/MGOC_Spares_BUMPERS_CHROME_90.html#l68This is fitted 'wrong way round' with the raw turned edge facing forward. First I curved it to fit inside the number plate 'box' by trial & error. Then it was marked and drilled so that it would slide over the two studs at the bottom of the grille. Elongated holes are needed because the studs diverge. Once you get a snug fit inside the box, and the stainless must touch the inside of the box. You then need to space the whole thing away from the grille slightly to make room for the badge fasteners. I've made taper washers because to my eye, the front number plate on overrider cars are angled upwards a bit too far, so mine is now a bit more level. Once it fits back easily over the studs, offer up the badges, and drill two mounting holes for each. Finally I spaced the badges back by one quarter inch using stainless nuts on the fasteners as spacers. That's it really. I'll post the pics on here as soon as I get it sorted.
