Has anyone had any success in repairing Morris 8 Emblems.
The one on top of the Radiator that is red with the number 8 inside has red pieces missing.
Is there a way to repair? or Know of refurbed ones any where to buy?

Regards

Hi
I'm guessing here that it is vitrious enamel on a metal base with a metal matrix for the different colours.
See if you can find a local hobbyist doing enamelling who might be able to help by refiring it with additional enamel powder to fill the gaps.

Hi,
Made contact with Badge Craft, or should i rather say they phoned me to discuss real good of them. Received the info i needed but there response was that somebody or Some company made a whole lot of new red round 8 badges as well as the radiator badge. The gentleman could not remember the contact details.
Doe any one know of a stash of new Morris 8 badges looking for homes?

Thanks for the info.

Trevor
