mounting fender badges with 3m tape

[garystocker]

The body shop filled the holes through which the pins in my running horse fender emblems mount.

What I want to do is grind off the pins from the emblems and mount it with
3m tape...Does anyoneknow what tape exactly I might need?

What thickness? What specific model tape or whatever?

And where to get it.

Thanks

I bought the 1" wide stuff from JC Whitney several years ago to reattach the wide side moldings on my ex 79 mustang. It works just fine. I had some left over and used it again to join the 2 halves of my new fiberglass tub/shower unit when I remodeled the bathroom 3 years ago. No problems there either. I'm sure you can pick up som 3M stuff at a auto paint supply store.

try to find the 3M tape with a red backing.It comes in different widths

Yes the red backing 3M is the best. Use an alcohol based product to prep the area first. Use a razor to trim around ebmlems and make it look clean. To really make it stick apply a little heat with a heat gun or hair dryer. Do not over heat and melt emblem or paint, and away you go

+1 on the tape with red backing, you can even find it at Walmart (my local store, at least). I'm doing the same thing for the rear "GT350" emblem on my '65 clone.
