Hi all,

Are there any early Sprint Veloce owners, with the script legshield badge, that would be kind enough to measure the distance of the pins for the lower 'sprint' badge.

Exactly the same set up as the fine example shown below.

Thanks

Stand by. I assume you mean centre to centre of mount hole spacing.

Sorry yeah, I mean centre to centre.

The one I have has a 55mm gap - but I can't for the life of me find a replacement badge with a 55mm pin spacing.

Sorry for delayed reply, I totally forgot about it.
Just measured mine and it"s 68mm. So a fair bit of difference to yours. Maybe you can find one not pre drilled and drill it to suit or just mount new one over that covers the holes. Seal the old holes of course
Good luck

Thanks for that.

If others were also a 55mm, then I'd have just continued my search. But as they aren't then I'll just like you say, drill and seal

What about removing one of the pins and using a removable glue, or a clear silicone?
