I'm sure there'll be enough 'meat' where the rivets were to get something to grip.
I bonded a sheet of alloy with tapped holes onto the back of another metal badge.
That badge was originally a 1960s Lancia grille badge. Similar to the one that Andreas did a newsletter article on, only I kept the original ring part and just carefully ground the whole lot down to almost the right thickness. That one originally had a shield round the outside. (see photo)
many thanks for the replies, helped in jogging the little grey cells into action, 2nd photo gives me an idea, a single stud into a bonded plate that has a centered 20mm dia shoulder. The badge would then self centre into the 20mm hole in the front clam that would be the cable access if I decide to go with a front lamp pod at some stage in the future, but still sit flush with the external surface of the front clam.
