Removing badge

How do I remove the Hudson 8 emblem badge from the '36 grill? It looks like I have to drill out the rivet on the back? And then how do I get it back on after everything has been refreshed?

    I have a similar situation with a 35 badge.

    My removal plan is to carefully use a Dremel or similar to take off the bare minimum of the rivet head that will allow the badge to be removed.

    My reattachment plan is to use the rivet stem as a locating pin in conjunction with the correct variety of Sikaflex urethane adhesive on the back of the badge.

    Hi first of all do you plan on having your 36 grill chrome plated your grill has four parts to it (1) the base grill itself (2) the Hudson 8 badge holder (3) the Hudson 8 badge itself and (4) the crank hole cover with that in mind if you are going to have your grill done I wll give you the name number and email to a place that can do all of your work for you at a great pprice and great work I will never send my parts to anyone else if you want you can pm me your phone number and we can talk about it Tom.

    Thanks Bob, I was thinking the same thing.

    Rocket, I was going to send the badge to Maxwell’s enamels for restoration. For the rest of the chrome parts I still have the chrome place in Utah you recommended to me 👍

    You could glue the badge back on.
