the badge looks like aluminium - its a basic shield shape and has no paint or enamel so hopefully should tolerate bending quite well.
pic shows the gap between badge and head tube i need to close -
the head tube is 41mm diameter - how much smaller a tube should i bend it around do you think in order to close the gap in the pic? the downtube is 40mm...a candidate perhaps?
I'd probably grab a bit of 1.5"/38mm round bar or heavy walled pipe/tube. Not particularly important what material, just get whatever is easiest to find.
