Starting
work on the JBA badge. I was disappointed with the quality of this
piece. I had expected something that would just ‘go on’. The
casting had left so many imperfections I polished until it was
flat and the flaws gone.
Holes
7mm deep milled into the rear
Polishing
done, but note the loss of letter shape on the ‘B’ and the
‘A’ as the polishing had run the letter into the edge
Two
6mm brass cheese-head machine screws were filed down to 7mm head
depth and soldered into the sockets
Mounted,
offered to the radiator surround.
Chromed.
Note I had filed out the letters so that they were clear again.
