mikenycz Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 My son just had the front passenger side fender painted on his 1975 280z. He now needs to reattach the 280z emblem that goes on the lower part of the fender. The original was attached via studs and clips that attached from the rear. When removing the emblem all but one of the studs has broken off. So the question is... What is the best way to reattach the emblem. Body shops have said to use double sided tape. The problem with this emblem is that the back side is not a flat surface. The only places where the emblem would actually touch the fender is around the edges of the emblem. Would placing tape on these edges only be sufficient to hold the thing in place? If anyone has any tricks or tips they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike Nycz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Hawk Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Drop a blob of JB Weld or high build epoxy on the back of the emblem so that it is 1/16" short of being flush with the sides. Dry upside down so it lays flat. Now you have a surface upon which to stick your double sided 3M tape. It will withstand a nuclear blast; the stuff is very sticky.
