Metal tank badges

(1/2) > >>

BigAl (Alan):
Hi all,
 Very simple problem. What is the best way to remove the existing tank badges? I have tried to lever on one side of the badge, but its a bit stiff.

Thanks Alan

Seamus:
May not help, but the last time I took some off, I levered behind the badges and worked from one end to the other, being careful not to damage the paint. A bit heart in the mouth.

Not sure if heating would help as the badges are retained by plastic grommets (on thew K tanks anyway)

Good luck

Seamus

Bryanj:
The"grommets" are called "J" clips and are actualy steel with the peg on the back of the badge pushing in.

Blunt knife between badge and tank and gently lever

BigAl (Alan):
Thank you for the replies. On inspection the previous owner had used a blob of silicone on each post, took a bit of time to cut around the blob's, but the badges came off eventually !

Thanks again

Alan

Bryanj:
Don't you just love PO's
