Pace Metal Head Tube Badges

Had a reply to say the guy has retired but his son is now doing it and is still making them. He also owned a Pace himself which is a good sign. I’ve asked for prices and stuff and update you once I hear
 
Quick reply back from him ,

They are £20 inc P&P by bank transfer

If multiple members wanted some I don’t mind sorting it.
 
First of all.. big up's to @d8mok for helping me out!

The headtube badge arrived, the detail was just lovely, much better than i was expecting, my only complaint was the adhesive pad, it was too thick making the badge protrude too much for my liking so i pealed it off..

made a little former to the headtube dia to ensure a perfect fit

..decided to stick the badge on with contact adhesive so as not to damage the frame but i was only going to get one shot to get it perfect so i used masking tape to tape a sticker (with backing) around the former

..put the badge back over the top of the sticker and cut neatly around the edge with a scalpel, used the inner part to register the badge in the perfect position on head tube then stuck the outer part over the top fullsizeoutput_3528.jpeg

pealed the inner part away leaving a stencil to apply the contact adhesive, also putting a thin layer of contact behind the badge

..stuck the badge into the sticker template and pealed away the stencil with no overspill
