Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - placement of the "Union Jack" on Bonnet sides

Hello!
Can anybody give med the correct placement of the "Union Jack" Badges on the Bonnet sides.
I have a pair of these Badges with adhesive tape on the back.
Thank you!

I found most Union Jack badges on the market are poor quality, like these nasty plastic ones I stupidly bought from Car Builder Solutions, suffice to say they went straight in the bin.



Fortunately I was able to rescue the situation when I found these proper glass enamel on brass versions from Vintage Supplies.

As we can see they’re designed to be a screw fit, so I faked up my own screw heads as obviously I didn't want to drill holes in my Morgan. I used 3M double sided emblem mounting tape, I tapped and countersunk the mounting holes and sourced some nice brass countersunk domed slotted screws.

I then screwed them in tight using the smallest drop of super glue to ensure they weren't going to back out and made sure the slot heads were all horizontal.



I then carefully cut the screw threads off at the back and filed flush before applying the emblem mounting tape.



This is how they turned out, convincing screw mounted quality glass enamel on brass Union Jack emblems that require no invasive drilling to fit.



After carefully masking up and ensuring both sides were exactly symmetrical I fitted them here.



They've stayed put and 100% look like they're screwed on which they most definitely are not, being proper glass enamel on brass they look way better quality than the typical Union Jacks you see and complement the subtle brass accents I’ve added to Monty. My Union Jacks have a vintage patina that gives the appearance of a genuine antique emblem, despite them being new items.
