Hello all,

 

I replaced a badge on the BRAT today and thought I'd share how it went.

 

Here's the old worn out badge.  I have simulated the removal technique in this photo.  Using a straight line twine I slowly but forcefully sawed off the old badge.

 

Looking a the back of the badge, you can see the two wide strips of two sided tape put on by the factory.

 

 

Using a combination of a citrus solvent and wd40 I removed all the gunk.  A good plastic scraper helps to get the thick stuff off.  I found the best tool for this was a squared off shovel spoon from my local gelato place.

 

 

I used an auto double stick mounting tape from 3m.

 

 

Three strips should do it.

 

 

I got the new badge from someone who had painted and clear coated it by hand.  Not the best job possible,but way better than my faded badge.

 

 

All told, it looks pretty good on the back of the 85 brat.

 

Glad with how it worked out.

 

Let me know if you have different tips.

 

Well done and it looks great!
