Anyone got a spare for sale or point me in direction of where I can buy one?
Pm'd you Tim - It's a Fulvia Sedan hubcap badge. Email had a couple of links!
Cheers
Guy
I do a vinyl one if you don't get a metal one, or if want to have one under a removable lamp pod.
see my gallery

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?

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:Quote:

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!!!!!Quote:

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

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.

Rob, I'm really sorry.Quote:

In this case I'm actually offering something for free, but normally just trying to scrape a living. It is all I've got.
Sorry Rob and Chris
confused with my post...not very clear maybe !! I have some progress to do in english!!
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!
Frederic

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.Quote:

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.

I'll try and fit the job in soon!
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:
