Tank badges
JamesH:
I've used low modulus clear silicone sealant before and had no problems.
AshimotoK0:
Why not bond some aluminium flat head rivets to them and then use standard fixings. I have some special industrial epoxy and ally powder filler you can bond them with. Trust me the bond will be strong if you mix it and cure it properly. Agreed K0 emblem sets mega expensive, don't blame you for wanting to keep originals. I think I have some of the rivets but they are at work, I will check tomorrow if you are interested.

Found the rivets (loads of them) I will try it out on a badge and let you know. If it works I will PM you & send you a few and a bit of the epoxy concoction. :)

The rivets are perfect and got lots of 'em .. exactly the right length, aluminium and diameter (3mm) with a flat bottom. Mixed the epoxy with ali filler and left on the boiler to cure adding a 3rd mount to a K0 tank badge !! abraded surfaces first and played a creme brulee burner flame over it to let the epoxy flow out.
Off to the boozer now will report back tomorrow morning.
Got loads of the two-pack epoxy but short of the fine alloy powder so can only spare enough for you for your 4 badges (if it works of course)
