CLC Badge thread extender

[71 Fleetwood]

My new CLC badge arrived but the bolt is too short for my front grill.  Does anyone remember what they used or where they found a thread extender?  Thank you

Easy enough to make one.

Great thread I need to do the same for my badge.

Easy enough to make one.

Bruce, don't forget that some people her never saw a lathe!

[The Tassie Devil(le)]

Yes, but can be done with a drill, a Tap and a piece of Brooker rod, oh, and a vice.

Try Home Depot or the local hardware store for a thread extender....

This will get you started.....What size is the stud you have to extend?

Thank you, Bruce and Roger.  I'll look forward to seeing your first batch! 
Kinda dumb for the badge to be wrong for the breed of car.

edit - it measures as 1/4" 20 thread.

Mike has your answer --- also any True Value or ACE hardware store should have those.

G'day Mike,

That will also work perfectly.

When the Cadillac LaSalle Club of Australia made their Rally Badges for the 2010 Bathurst Rally, they designed the attaching point for all types.

The thread attachment was a female fitting in the back, plus a 3" length of threaded bar and nut was included.

They have couplers. A threaded sleeve.
Thread it into the stud and use a bolt and washer from behind.

Here is the one that I found at Amazon 1/4" 20 thread $9.

71 can you provide a link?  I'd like to buy one of those so I can install my badge the next time I have my 55 out.

Here it is and the price dropped -
