Re: Healey Club Grille Badges
Let me try again.
Grills have open areas where a piece of brass (so it won't rust) bar stock perhaps 1 1/2 inch long and 1/4 inch square, can slip through and be turned 90 degrees to act as a rather long or wide nut so to speak. No need to try to mess around with a normal nut and large washer. All of this is easily done from the outside of the grill with no need to try to fish ones hand on the inside of the grill to hold the bar. I believe most badges can use an 8-32 thread or perhaps a 10-32 thread bolt or machine screw if you a technical. By drilling the brass bar stock in the center and tapping it to 8-32 or 10-32 you can use a longer bolt and simply attach a badge to most any grill without drilling holes in the grill. You would screw the bolts into the bar stock first (badge has bolts going through it) and slip them through the grill. Pull back on the badge so the bar stock is against the inside of the grill and tighten the bolts.
Not sure I can explain it any better.
