Hello all

Does anyone know where I can source a new pair of front wing v8 badges?
Both Rimmers and Brown and Gammons have no stock

Cheers

Not to answer your question, but don't forget that there are two types, satin and polished chrome.

Hi David

I may be wrong, but I thought the satin one went on the dashboard, and the polished ones were for the front wings?

No, both satin and polished type fitted to wings, can't remember the changeover point.

If yours is 057 then I would think they should be satin.

Whoa! 57 would be mk1 and v8 on the back. Mk2s were front wing? Certainly 105 was bright one on the rear with nothing on the wings.

When my wife damaged the right side badge (and the whole of the right side of the car, incidentally) by applying power through a bend on the snow and brushing a hedge (:ash), I couldn't find any anywhere so I ended up searching through the hedge for the part, and found it. It was broken in two, but with a bit of glue I fixed it and it looks good. Hope you can find one though.
PS mine are satin finished.

Have you mailed Tim, Andrew? The Club Shop had some about a year ago; maybe he has one still over?
You could also try Nick at Austin Garages. I got a shiny one from him, also about a year ago. He had satin ones then too IIRC.

I got a pair from Corin messenger ( a long time exponent of all things MGR ;) ) and on a few MG groups

Might be worth asking him .

I think you're right Jez. 138 does not have the V8 on the wing, just the one on the back.
