Round disc MB badge on Grille

I am trying to find a new replacement for the round disc badge on my grille.  Mine has lost the paint and is pretty road rashed.  Does anybody know where to buy a new one?

It wasn't long ago autohausaz and a bunch of other online shops had em for around $11-15USD, but I couldn't find any the other week.  But on ebay check

Otherwise I'd check with the Classic Center in Irvine Ca.  Quite a few people post they can get whatever obscure parts they need from there.

I too missed out with a new badge when i placed an order with AutohauseAZ some time ago, they still had it listed but wrote to say 'no longer available'  :(

I did get a brand spanking new badge from Tom at the Classic Center but it was attached to the brand spanking new grille  ;D

Hello all,

I was wondering how the emblems are affixed to the grill?

The badge doubles as a bolt that goes through the plastic insert behind, and is held in place with a nut and washer.
