Grill badge installation

You need parts like this.  I'd use stainless steel or brass machines screws with self lock nuts and aluminum fender washers.

Here's a link to the Sierra Madre kit on the left, but you can just as easily source SS hardware from your local ACE.

If it were me, I might be tempted to use some sort of security screw if you ever leave your car unattended for any length of time.

If your screws or bolts that hold down your grill is complicated enough to frustrate the small time thief you should be ok.

i used square drive screws/bolts, readily available

You've got to call them "Robertson" screws or Canada Bob will set you straight! But good idea if you're concerned about theft.

I have 4 grille badges, S.O.C., Spyderclub, the 2006 Carlisle Badge Gordon did, and an A.D.A.C. badge. I'm not worried about theft of the badges. They'll just take the whole car.

Simple ideas : One of the screws different than the others, bend the screws,  one rivet  and or with wire cutters nick the threads of the screw so that the nut will not easily pass over it...Nothing like frustration .

I have the same badge and have seen other 356's with it mounted on the side of the car just back of the front tire.

I take it the grille has to be removed to mount the badge? Any easy way to remove it? Seems like not an easy process to remove?

No need to remove the grille to install a badge.  Just get screws long enough to go through the grille, and try not to drop the nuts into the engine bay... 

Should be able to barely reach thru the air vents on reverse of lid.

Don’t think my chunky hand and arm will fit

That was a favorite spot for that particular badge on Spyders as well.

Project completed.  Thanks for the assistance.  Had to take the grill off, but only took about an hour.

Very nicely done.  

I saw some guy use hook type plastic anchors around a grill from the back side and even a SS plate would of been nice too  In the end there are many ways to skin a cat

Looks great

I just installed 2 badges using badge adapters I bought on eBay and Amazon. The kit consists of a domed hard plastic piece with 2 foam tape pieces for the two sides.  The domed piece gives you a flat surface to go against the grille.

I used them to protect the grille and to hold the badge in place until I got the screws installed.

I decided to reposition one of the badges and it was quite difficult to remove with just the foam tape holding it.  These adapters could probably be used without using the screws.

Great idea.
