Guys, does anyone know where to get small plastic plug type things that you can push on the tabs of the back of badges to hold them in place?

I'm not even sure what the correct name is for them, but I know a MG place my old man goes to sells them, just don't what to call them when searching on the interwebs.

This is the best picture I can find, imagine them with a smaller hole that suits guard badge tabs

Any help appreciated.

You can use an alternative like plastic tubing cut to length.
Just choose a diameter which is a snug fit.
It won't scratch the paint nor damage the pins on the badge.

Yeah I could but these little cap plug things work a treat and are easily removable without breaking the badge (common result of stock metal holders).

Graeme not a bad idea, will go that path if I can't find a source or name for these things

Try a Crash Suppliers from the Yellow Pages.
My local in S.A. is Lonsdale Paint Supplies.
They have clips, clamps and such for just about everything known to man :)

What about using heat shrink tubing. Just put some on the tabs and then shrink it on?
