What did you do about the holes in the fender left by the original GT badges?

I have those same exact tri-bar emblems that I would like to put on, but I don't know what to do with the holes.

My new badges had 4 locating pins on them. I cut off the 2 side ones and the bottom one. I filed them flat and used the top pin into the top factory hole in the fender. This badge covers the other hole, no problems.
:nice:

Thanks, Dave. Unfortunately, I don't think that my Tri-bar emblem will fit over the holes unless the holes are close together. Are they close together, or are they more towards the outer horizontal edges of the "GT" badge?

I appreciate your help. :hail2:

You will have no problems. I have a picture of the old GT emblem, but it's at home. So, I made this Crude drawing for you to see where the holes are.
:rolleyes:

PERFECT!!!

I can't wait to get home and do this tonight. Is it hard to take off the GT emblem? Also, is there a specific kind of 3M tape that I need to use and are they readily available in hardware stores?

I really do appreciate your help, and I love the drawing. Very artistic. :D
 
Glad I could help out. I took mine off, by using a hair dryer. Heat the emblem then pry off slowly. I bought the 3m automotive tape at my local hardware store!
Post pictures when you done. :nice:
