Bonnet Badge Removal

[David Ramsbotham]

I am considering replacing my bonnet badge.

The badge special retaining “ nuts” are quite small and situated behind a panel reinforcement. What is the best way of removing these - just like a conventional nut?

TIA

yes but i have to say very fiddly to fix a new one - but can be done by me so anyone can do it

Now got to weigh up buying new or used!

You need a 8mm socket or nut spinner, they basically are self tappers

It's easy to do, I changed the bonnet badge recently to a retro one like on the new 911 S/T.

I also ordered new retaining nuts, and they come with a black rubber (a bit like bluetack) on the back...which is a bit odd.

It's only really awkward because of the angle of the bonnet, but easy enough.

Nice!
