Hey Ric.
The best in the world (IMHO)at accurately replacing the cloisonne on these
badges is Pamela David Enamels here in the UK. Find them at:
http://badgecraft.co.uk/
The chipping and flaking usually happens as a result of tightening the badge
down too hard onto the shroud. The stress in the base metal causes the glass
to detatch from the base and vibration and weather does the rest. My
recommend is to make sure the curve of the badge accurately corresponds to
the shroud before you send it away. When it comes back put a bed of clear
silicon sealant on the back, especially around the studs before gently
pulling it down snug.
Regards........

Subject: [Healeys] Front Badge
What are my options for replacing the front badge on a BJ8.? The red
material (glass, enamel?) is chipped and flaking away.? Any help would be
appreciated.
