Old style LR emblem - repros exist? I am thinking of adding a "old style" aluminium LR emblem like in the picture below to the back of my SVX. Not necessarily looking for an old original one, but a new alu good quality repro would do. Are they still made and where can they be ordered? Canvassed the net a bit, including site sponsors, but can't find anything. Suggestions?  You never actually own a Defender.

Thanks, not decided yet what to do exactly. Keep it in mind though. You never actually own a Defender.

Thanks for the link Darren. Did you rivet it onto your truck or did you glue it? Asking because it would replace my current LR oval which on the SVX is glued. You never actually own a Defender.

I got mine from them also good quality, but the laquer has started to crack no hardship I'll redo it if it gets any worse.

It's attached with SS nyloc nuts and Allen head bolts, with homemade foam gasket on the rear.

Mao99999, Nice, especially on a black SVX like yours , and mine... Interesting that yours shows as place of make "Birmingham", today the same one on their website shows "Solihull". No issue of course. Same question to you as I asked to Darren. How did you fix it? Glued, or riveted? Tks, Eric You never actually own a Defender.

[quote="LandRoverAnorak[/quote] It's attached with SS nyloc nuts and Allen head bolts, with homemade foam gasket on the rear. Hope that helps.[/quote] All clear, so means drilling. ...And removing the inner lining Think it could be glued like the original LR emblem which it will replace? Or is it too heavy for that, or too prone for someone being tempted to pull it off? No matter what, it will be done, but want to check best options with both you guys who have the experience  You never actually own a Defender.

I guess you could glue it with something appropriately sticky. The plates are pre-drilled though, so you'd see the unfilled holes (unless you cut some false bolt heads, but that's a lot of faffing). When I fitted one of these to my Stage 1 some years ago, I did glue it as well to make it less nickable, but I think nylon nuts are probably enough, to be honest. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

I used double sided foam/ tape to mount mine the rivets are for show just glued on as I couldn't bring myself to drill holes in the SVX I chose the Birmingham badge as it is the same as my series ones, Land Rover fitted them to the later series ones and early series twos I thought it was just a little extra retro novelty for the SVX. On yours I would go for the "four wheel drive station wagon" logo.  Formerly mao99999 16 Focus RS Nitrous Blue. 11 FFRR TDV8 Vouge SE Black Black. 08 DEFENDER SVX SOFT TOP (SUPERB) 08 DEFENDER 110 DCPU Stornoway grey (Overland Exploration Unit) 05 Fiesta ST 150 Van 04 Jaguar XKR 4.2 Supercharged V8 02 DEFENDER 90 TD5 (next years soft top project) 95 DEFENDER 110 CSW 300 TDi Phoenix black 95 DEFENDER 90 HT Monti Carlo blue COUNTY 300 TDi 67 109" SERIES 2a TUNED 200 TDI 64 DAVID BROWN 990 rat look 55 86" SERIES 1

Already tried to order mine (LR four wheel drive Station Wagon) from their website, but seems something wrong with their system. When placing the order and after entering personal information, the only button available to go further is "Payment by cheque".... which obviously does not work from abroad Already sent them an e-mail to ask how we can get this properly sorted. Will see. You never actually own a Defender.
