    Anyone know where to find a 348 TS interior badge? See photo. Checked with Ricambi, T. Rutland's and eBay. Not having any luck so far. Thanks for the help!

    the way its fastened, its not removable from the door without damage. Just swapped mine because the plastic door it attaches to would no longer stay up. the used part I had purchased was off of a spyder, so I had though about swapping the badges, but ended up needing to swap the whole outer door assembly.

    Surely it's just a case of removing the 4 screws that hold the plastic inner plate to the outer door (No.46 below), separate the inner and outer parts of the door, undo the two clips that are fitted to the badges pins(No. 44 below), and then remove the badge?

    the little pins on the two in my possession would be destroyed trying to remove them. Now if you did not car about the door itself, or the retainers, it might be possible to cut them to get the emblem off, but it would take some finesse.

    they are small star-lock retainers.

    Those can typically be finessed off the studs without destroying anything but they usually need to be replaced afterward.

    I appreciate all of the feedback! It looks like someone beat us to replacing the badge before. There is currently a "348 TB" badge in a 348 TS that we have. Bizarre. Assuming the previous owner couldn't find the TS badge either. Still on the hunt.

    "NEW To Order Subject to Availability" on Eurospares means that they have none in stock and don't know when they will have any ever again.

    The only badge they have in stock is for the 348 Spider.

    The badge in question is a USA market item that is not going to be a big money earner for them due to the limited demand, so I doubt that they'll have them in stock again anytime soon.

    Not exactly. Yes, it means they have none in stock - that is correct. But, it does not mean they can't get it.

    I've bought many parts from them that they did not have in stock and had to order. It usually takes 1-2 weeks for them to get it.

    I'm not suggesting in this case the part is available but without reaching out to them and asking, one will never know :)

    i know this is an old thread, anybody with a good ts badge thought about doing a clay imprint? If I had a good imprint I could use it as a mold and make replicas

    They sell replica badge keychains on eBay for $10.

    I got one as a gift a while back and threw it in a drawer. I seem to remember it was pretty dang close. I’ll dig it out and post a comparison here.
