    OK it's not really a badge but I can't fit one without removing the wheel...
     
  3. Can I suggest that if you do fit one you just put a single self tapper slap bang in the middle so you can rotate it to the correct position to prevent your wonky badge annoying the crepe out of everyone when you post a picture of it!
     
  4. Funny how all them big badges on high lights are crooked :thinking:

  5. Yer right...they're all wonky...
     
  6. oh no, what have I done? Sparked a riot - but before it gets out of hand, can anyone who has one fitted tell me how they got around the hole issue - can you space the badge just right so it covers the original fixing holes - I take it there are 3 of them then ?

    My bodywork is all original.

    Beat me to it! Not really meant to be self-tappered on either.

    No you can't, no matter what you do, as someone explained earlier you'll see the old holes.
     
  9. How you going to spin it around withput a sel tapper?
     
  10. Mate I've just looked at the price of the early badges it's redonkulous, stick with the small one :)
     
  11. But then who am I to say, I have a bus with eye lids :rolleyes:
     
    1973daisey and snotty like this.
  12. Someone here got one and stuck it on a plastic disc the same colour as the van and then stuck that to the van, looked very nice

    Stick it on wonky as well to p1ss off the weirdos :p
     
  13. How is the original badge held on - I mean are there star washers on the back of the 3 prongs?

    My late badge is currently held on with a self tapper in the middle & 1 prong I think!
     
  14. I thought i'd seen that bus before...

    Look on JK or VWH for a picture. It's been described exactly already on this thread.

    Looks a bit wonky to me or is it the spare wheel dent making the picture look wobbly? :D
     
  18. On lates, there are three plastic clips that push in to holes in the front panel. The outer halves of the clips have little grippy jaws that clip onto flat bits in the badge moulding.
     
  19. I knew someone would say that :). It's not!
