Laverda Badges et al.

I've just received a full set of badges from Cal at http://www.badgereplicas.com.au/ for my forthcoming '77 Jota rebuild and I can happily confirm that these are top quality kit.
Service is top notch too.
Gets a 10/10 from me ;)

I have some side panel badges..top notch..BUT, I would not wish to bend the fixing prongs which appears v fiddly and riskes a disaster to both badge and sidepanel, as far as I can see and have been advised to fit washers over them which effectively fix the badges on.Anyone know what these "gripping" washers are called and where they can be got? Preferably of a type that could be removed if desired..

I bend the tabs over, no problems. Easy to undo too.
What disaster do you think will happen?
 
I'm with Grant on the side panel badges, slight spread prevents them to fly off and a tiny dab of RTV where the tabs exit the orifices takes care of the possible wobble.
 
I puddled the prong in araldite & they hold on just fine....
 
Dont use the washers Nick - too permanent. As below, a dab of RTV silicone is my way. Those little alu pins can and do break off, esp if bent more than once - alu is like that - you can't 'feel' the fatigue limit. P.

I believe these are the ones you are referring to Nick:

I bought a few from springmasters.
Now then!!!!!!! They are not permanent. The little tabs can be bent backwards when removal is required by using a sharp scriber or pin, then off comes the washer - not a problem.
 
URL still doesn't work for me!
just says cant connect or gets diverted to ww2. URL (note not wwW.)
Very odd.
Can see their facebook page no problem
