Cheers

I do a vinyl one if you don't get a metal one, or if want to have one under a removable lamp pod.

Thanks to Tom I now am looking to put the badge on the car. It comes with M3 studs. Is it normal to drill the body and bolt the badge or is it best to cut the studs off and use body badge tape??

I am inclined to drill and bolt but what has original Strato's got?

Hi Tim,
I would drill holes and bolt it.
Make sure you get it in exactly the correct position front to back, and squared up. You could do to know the exact distance between the top of the badge and the bottom of the front louvre recess?

You could make a card or paper template with a big enough hole to miss the studs. Then tape some paper 'washer's (with holes tight to the stud diameter) to the larger template.
That'll give you an accurate guide to find the hole centres. Obviously cover the area first with masking tape. Edge to edge if it's narrow or one big wide bit.

The originals were actually the same as late S1 Fulvia hub caps, but where the Fulvia hub caps had rivets, the original Stratos had self tappers. No original badge had studs and nuts, as far as I know. Here's a photo comparing a late S1 Fulvia hub cap badge (on the left) with the back of a 100% original Stratos nose badge (on the right):

Something like this:
Draw round the badge on the front before you take it away from the badge/studs.

Do not want to "hack the thread but concerning this rare badge is it not time for the club to have one of these silicone molded then polyuréthane molded ?
There are nowaday new paints replicating exactly the chrome so it will be easy to have some done with this quick process ( studs could be included on the casting so no issue at all to fit it properly !

Boss IAN ? any thoughts ?

Well having studs I think I would use thme rather than convert to self tappers and they would be the only self tappers on the car!!!!!

So any one wish to volunteer the exact position from the top of the circle to the bottom of the louvres??

Double sided tape works just as well, just flat off the rivet head remnants first

Hi Frederic
It seems yet again someone else is answering for me when I'm asked to contact, or recommended to supply some stickers.
Happy to do one for you, (my original idea for this was copied) but if you are already dealing with Chris then no problem.
thanks for the enquiry though.
Cheers
Rob

Rob, I'm really sorry.
I honestly didn't realise Frederic was answering your previous quote until now.
In this case I'm actually offering something for free, but normally just trying to scrape a living. It is all I've got.

Not a problem I can order one and another one for spare ... Or maybe for next build in the future (Blue chardonnet or red Stradale!!)
Thanks to you both!

No Frederic,
Your reply was clearly to Rob's earlier post. It's my fault.
Apologies to Rob. I've managed to put my big foot in it twice now on this thread.

Yes, I agree that this would be a good move and I did talk to Guy about having a go with a silicone mould myself after seeing how reasonable simple it was to do the side repeater lenses mould.
Guy offered a good badge as a pattern as long as it was not a destructive process (which it definitely is not). Perfection is required in the pattern piece though. I can see some very fine wet or dry paper marks in the lenses I have made so far. Reflections of a minor repair I did to the old lens I took the mould from!

The perfect badge is a Flavia grille badge, the outer ring is much deeper than a Stratos one but it might be a good basis for remaking the original? Offer of a non destructive loan stands.

Is it the sort of task this new-fangled 3D printing is suitable for?

It has been said to me yes, but I don't know enough about it.

Two new nose/front badges. Note the postage cost though:
