1981 Austin Morris Maxi 1750 HL Auto

The sizing was in my original link to the replacement clips from Bresco.

I fear you are right about breakers yards, hence my posts about buying new.

Good idea about the coin. 5p is bigger than the cup washer.

Here.... have mine!

Thanks, but it looks completely different.

What's it off of?

Can't say 100% without a clearer picture but it looks a lot like a variant of Eurostile to me, they used it a lot at the time on their handbook covers and badging etc.

Something like this

I wouldn't swear to it but I'm fairly sure that the reason why some car makers added an auto badge to their cars in those days was to notify people that it was something out of the ordinary for the UK market. Possibly because only a very small percentage of mainstream models were ever sold here with auto boxes. That was normally the realm of upmarket, luxury saloons over here.

I remember a disabled neighbour of ours way back in the early 70s had to wait quite a while for the factory to build her a special order Mini auto. Performance wise it must have been a slug to drive, although that probably wasn't a problem for her.

Well, I now have the badge.

Is the chap doing the 3D printing still with us? I've left a couple of messages for him, but had no response.

This person on e-bay sells these clips, they might be able to help with the size you need, if they can they may do you a good deal for the quantity you need.
