Hi,
I know this topjc has been aired previously but has not answered the query I have. Our 1967 500F came with the later front panel with the oblong Fiat badge. It’s my wife’s car and she wants it to look original with the winged badged. It’s an over winter project but having now obtained the correct front panel and badge, there is a large hole where the centre “Fiat” portion of the badge is supposed to fit. There are holes drilled to accept the wings either side of it but I have no idea how the centre part is meant to fit.
I am informed that the large hole is to accommodate the horn which is held in place with two bolts and that this is surrounded by a large grommet which fits into the hole to prevent water ingress. This appears to be correct as the horn on our car has been relegated to a position over the nearside front wheel arch, but the wiring has been neatly folded and taped together suggesting that it is long enough to reach the intended position on the front panel.
Ok, with all this in place, can someone please advise me how the centre of the badge fits into position with this arrangement, presumably covering the horn?
Thanks.
