Heavy Harley Davidson Emblems
So My 04 XLT is now almost a Harley Davidson truck with thenew seats lights and Emblems. I got the emblems used and they are heavy metalthat is hollow in the center and has only 1/4 inch for double sided tape. I'm thinking double sided tape won’t hold the weight of these things.. Anyone usedBarrel clips for heavy emblems? They do have the studs on the back.

The 3M tape will hold up a M1A1 Abrams tank.
But really the good 3M tape is very strong and
you will find it is not easy to remove. You need to
make sure to clean both surfaces or all dirt,wax,oil and grease.
You can pick up small amounts at your local auto parts store.
The other option is a auto body supply and it will run you
$75 for the 3/4" X 5 yard roll. The 1/4" roll should be less.
But the stuff is not cheep and for this you don't want cheep anyway.

I’m thinking about pulling the inner plastic under the fender and thread the back side alignment post on the Harley emblems with a tap and die set. Then use 3M double sided tape to mount on the fender with a nut on my threads and it won’t come off guaranteed.

Skip the threading and use a clip.
The cast metal will not stand up to the die.
The spring steel push clip would be ideal for this
Seastrom Manufacturing - Push-on nuts in spring steel.
You should be able to pick this up at an auto paint store.
Look for a display of Wee Pak Parts here is a link
Wholesale Automotive Fasteners, Hardware, Specialized Body Tools | For Auto Body and Auto Glass Shop | W&E Sales Company, Inc.
They have a lot of the smaller auto body parts
that tend to disappear when you put things back together.
