Hey Brian ,
I may be transferring a Raleigh headbadge from the stripped and almost ruined remains of a circa 1975 Raleigh Sports Ladies , to an otherwise quite nice 1974 Raleigh Super Course .
( it probably won't be done any time soon , no time available lately ! )
I'd love to receive any "sage" advice anyone may have !
Mentioning "sage" makes me think of green , & reminds me of the "Raleigh Bronze Green" color of the Super Course . I sure do like that color .
Any advice on finding BRASS hollow rivets for some Raleigh headbadges , as opposed to common aluminum ( aluminium ) hollow rivets ??
And if you need tiny screws for headbadges , the Schwinn enthusiasts may be able to help you . ( sorry , I don't have any spares ) Those Schwinn headbadge screws were wonderful little things ! And those same tiny screws were used on so many different models , from Paramounts on down , and down , and down !

mounting? If it's a Raleigh then I have another approach for you.
