I discovered the other day that they come in two sizes. The normal ones were too big for the thin pins on the Automatic badge for the 1100.

Hmmm. Mouse Condoms....Hmmmm....

Im hoping that hey will be suitable for the mounting of the T O R A N A badge across my nose cone. I reckon the will be.... but just cant remember how big the I/D and O/D are.......

Hey Matt, if you do have some, reckon you can stick a pair of verniers on em and get some sizes mate?

The proper Holden ones are little metal ones that chip the paint and cause rust.
I might have a couple of them somewhere but I wouldn't have enough for a whole front panel.

Hahahahaha really?? Hmmmm... I think its a good idea to use the plastic condoms then instead?

Really! With some Holdens in coastal areas you may see a thin trail of oxide/rust running down the paint below the badge.
The metal clip has a bit of a lip that stops it pulling out but it can and will chip the paint.

The plastic ones are much better as long as they are the right size for the pins and holes.

Hey Hanra,

they should be - PANEL HOLE; 3/16" / 4.7MM AND PIN DIAMETER 1/8" / 3.2MM.

if they are not the right size, I have some slightly smaller and slightly larger ones that might fit.

cheers

Kev

yeah sorry i havn`t checked, i`m a lazy bugga sometimes

& my excuse is that i`m going into hospital for a heart opperation tomorow & it would be far too stressing for me to walk down to the shed, open a draw & check to see if i carry mouse condoms... it`s just too stressing, far too much for me to take, i`m too frail atm leave me alone , stopp bullying me Mwaaahhh haa haaa i want my mummy !!!!!!!!!!!
