Installing head badge

Posted on
  • I want to install my old head badge. It was riveted on and I'd like to rivet it back.

    Any tips on how to do this?

    What type of rivets do I use? - Copper? What size?

    Wiki has toooo much info

    I was thinking I could do it without a gun by putting the rivet through from the underside and then using a punch to flatten it?

    Ebay has this gun + rivets - they are alu and I have no idea if they'll fit. Its only a fiver, but there seem to be an awful lot of things my bikes needed that are only a fiver... or a tenner... etc. and its adding up.

    As always any help/tips much appriciated.

  • Glue it with plaster of anus.

  • I have used M2 Stainless mushroom head hex key screws.

    Means that you will have to buy an M2 tap to thread the headtube.

    Looks subtle when finifhed.

  • Just make sure whatever you do not to put the rivet in the way of the headset.

  • Have collected my frame from Rowe Lane. Next: must reattach head badge. If anyone inside the London limits, preferably east, is willing to act as a mentor for this, I want to learn how to properly rivet the things back on and would be very grateful for a tutorial. Or if someone is just offering this as a service and I could watch, that would be great. Cheers for reading...
