High mileage badge on the way

I got one of those a few months back but haven't mounted it because I don't want to just glue it to the car. Anyone have any tips for mounting on the front grille?

thanks, blurp

is there a charge for the badges? My 240 has 208,000 miles on it....

1. Get a chrome "extra hole" cover for a kitchen sink (tightens w/ a wingnut from underneath sink) at Home Despot, plus a large washer
2. Pound flat
3. Scrape tape off back of badge and score back surface
4. Attach badge to hole cover w/ silicon adhesive/Goop/etc. (plus put some Goop in back where long bolt head recesses in cover
5. After it sets up, stick bolt through grill, slip on large washer, and then wingnut. Use nail polish or loctite on threads.

I've done many this way without any failure/loss.

I used Shoe Goo, just removed the foam tape on the badge, and glued the thing to the grille. Two years in (including Ottawa winters) and it shows no sign of coming loose. Shoe Goo is like liquid duct tape :-)

We dont seem to get these here in Oz......

Is it possible to get them in the UK also, my '92 940GLE has run

Taff.......

Taff if you are a Volvo Owners Club member this item is in the process of investigation as to it's viability for members. This is in line with the Volvo Club Of America's policy regarding high mileage badges.

By your e-mail address you must be fairly close to where I live. We have a South Wales section to the VOC. You might like to join in with our activities, if so send me an e-mail and I will fill in the details for you.

Cheers, Peter.

: Is it possible to get them in the UK also, my '92 940GLE has run : 227,000 miles and still going strong. : : Taff....... : : : :

Just to add to Peter's post, it was proposed that 'something' may materialise next year as discussions are ongoing between the Club and another party, and there are also budgetary considerations.

Cheers, but I now live in Bristol. I was not a member up till about 10 minutes ago. I am now.

Taff.........

Thanks for that Taff, at least you are in reach of two local sections, South West and Bristol & West. I think Bristol & West are looking for help in reforming as they have no secretary at the moment. The South West secretary lives in Newton Abbot.

All the best, Peter.
