fuel tank emblem hole size
« on: June 08, 2026, 09:47:42 AM »
Hi all, quick question for you all please. what should the hole size be for the tank emblem? I have just painted the tank and got replacement clips from nurse Julie, just need to know what size to open the holes up to that have extra paint in them.
Thank you in advance.

I had a similar issue when it came to fitting my 500 tank badges.
I did not want to risk rusting from bare metal.
I used push in plastic tube clips as used on old car badges.
Probably not as secure against theft.
