    Stud on Hood Badge Snapped off , how to fix.

    One of the two locating studs on my 911S 1972 Hood Badge snapped off. How can I reattach it, can I just use a Super Glue or does it need soldering ?

    I took one to a jewelry repair guy last year and he fixed it for $10.

    A tiny dab of JB Weld will do it. No one will ever know

    Yeah it is... and it's worked before.....

    However silver soldering at home or at a jeweler as suggested is best.........

    JB Weld is a metal impregnated epoxy. It's a two part mixture, that gets so hard it can ground with a grinder.
