You'd be surprised how heavy this lot is Keith!!!!!!!
Anyway......at the same time as fitting the two extra badges, I wanted to replace the simple white capped philips screws with something a bit more secure. My plan was a pair of stainless allen headed setscrews capped with number plate screw finishers.
First I had to fix the nuts on the back. These were fitted to some aluminium L sections using JB Weld. The joining surfaces were cleaned and glued with Araldite to the plastic box.
Then the two badges were added to the end plates. The holes had to be slotted, because the 75 year badge is a bit oversize in comparison to the others, and I wanted a level appearance overall. This took quite a while.
The box was drilled to take the M5 allen headed setscrews.
This shows the plastic fixing washer. The setscrews were lightly greased.
And the cover in place
The fixing screws are very close to the cowl edge - so I've fixed two grommets as protection....here's the nearside.
Finally here's the whole thing completed. Remember that I didn't intend to have any badges.
I think that's 'Job Done'.
