Thanks Dezzy, mine is shotblasted and as the clam has to come off to fit a new windscreen, I can fit it at the same time.

Ok Tut. Send me your address and I'll post it to you.

BTW, as it's an S2 badge, it wasn't screwed in from the back. It still has the wee pins, but it was just stuck on. Same with the new one. Supposedly most S1 owners don't bother replacing the bolts from the back when they replace it and just stick it on instead.

Cheers,
D

The black badge was used by Lotus as a mark of respect for when Chapman and one of their drivers died, so I'm sure some purist/pedant (not me!) will tell you you shouldn't be using them.

Tut, when I fitted mine, I marked the position of the studs on the old badge using the new one as a template, buffed the enamel off the old badge with a dremel and then drill out the studs from above. A ten minute job and the new badge was just bonded on.
