Title: Holden Badge (script) and Messa Tan Trim Post by: Crackers on February 20, 2011, 12:22:26 PM I am still hunting the trim but I am also after two of these badges. Not sure exactly what they are from, but I believe that dealer put them on my car van to trick it up to sell. Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like yours is a cast one - there are two types - a cast one and another one pressed from stainless.
Ken Title: Re: Holden Badge (script) and Messa Tan Trim Post by: Crackers on February 20, 2011, 08:22:17 PM Thanks Ken. You are correct once again. It is cast. One has broken and the one in the picture too many of the lugs are broken off. Thanks for letting me know where they are from. Let's just hope someone has a couple floating around somewhere.
Thanks again. Title: Re: Holden Badge (script) and Messa Tan Trim Post by: mcl1959 on February 20, 2011, 09:04:29 PM There's a brand new one on ebay along with a special badge for $50 - bit pricey and only one - maybe the owner has another one looking at the back of the picture.
Search FJ badge Ken Title: Re: Holden Badge (script) and Messa Tan Trim Post by: GM on February 21, 2011, 06:14:04 AM The badge is off an FJ tailgate, the bonnet badge is 170mm long. Hope this helps.

That explains it. When I have seen the bonnet ones they are small with less lugs. At least now I know where it is from. Next part is finding them. The one on eBay is the smaller one unfortunately. Title: Re: Holden Badge (script) and Messa Tan Trim Post by: GM on February 25, 2011, 08:48:41 PM Glad I could help. They are hard to find, I paid $100 for mine, but it was a good one.

I was in Rares this morning and noticed they have reproed them, Part # B1102 They probably won't have them in stock though, evrything I have gone in there for over the last couple of months has been out of stock and has had to be ordered in. I get the feeling they are going to close the shopfronts and do everything on line, as when you go back to collect the part/s the shelves have not had the stock replenished Cheers, Gary Title: Re: Holden Badge (script) and Messa Tan Trim Post by: Crackers on March 09, 2011, 04:51:29 PM Thanks so much Gary,
Did you see a price by any chance? Also, were they the longer ones that I am after. Thanks again. Title: Re: Holden Badge (script) and Messa Tan Trim Post by: Stewy on March 10, 2011, 05:36:25 PM On ebay, seller selling one of each Ebay Item #280640023097 small one, Ebay Item #280640022776 large one.
Good luck, I think the rares repros are no longer available same as fc bonnet letters. Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Holden Badge (script) and Messa Tan Trim Post by: Crackers on March 10, 2011, 10:01:32 PM Thanks for the tip off Stewy.
Title: Re: Holden Badge (script) and Messa Tan Trim Post by: zulu on March 11, 2011, 04:59:59 PM I was in there today and asked about them. Although they are still displaying an image of one, apparently thier manufacturer has changed. They have caught up with most of the items they were getting done, not so with this item. The price was in the region of $36, so whoever is flogging them on ebay is making a tidy profit so good luck with the hunt!

It is really appreciated. I guess I will just have to wait for the repros to start again. That one on ebay is missing the lugs/pins so it is worse off than the one I already have.
The hunt continues.... |
