New rear badge - what glue to use?
I have a new oval LR badge for the back of my 90. It has a flat polished aluminium surface. I would like to glue it on, not rivet. Does anyone know what glue to use with sufficient strength that it won't easily fall off, but with properties that will allow its removal in the future without leaving damaged paintwork?

I'm thinking an Evostick style rubber based glue?

Does anyone have any ideas/experience on this?

Would you not be better using number plate tape?

if you mean the type artmin does, then I riveted mine on, and backed it with sikaflex. it would never come off with just rivets, but the sikaflex is incredibly strong and ensures no water ingress, or crap getting behind it.

I was an electrician when I was alive and also have mild OCD.... Thumbs Up

That's probably why I noticed the high quality workmanship. Rolling with laughter

I'd like to say that all electricians have an eye for detail and high standards but..... Confused

I do however think that electricians have the smartest looking Defenders......(with the exception of yours truly of course).
