I just got a great deal on a KRA62C I found locally on CL. It's practically unused but the Snap-On emblem is pulled halfway off the box. I can see that it is fixed to the lid with prongs that go through the sheet metal face, but I have no idea what's on the backside because another piece of sheet metal is tack welded over the void. Has anyone got an idea of how to repair this correctly instead of resorting to glue?
Thanks
Yea. You have three options. The emblems use two plastic staked pins that fit thru the two holes in the box. The pins likely have barbs on the back to hold the badge secure.
It sounds like one of the pins has broken or the gromet that it snugs into has broken or pushed out teh back side..
First option is to gently pry badge out to see if pin is still in the hole. If so, you can gently pry the badge off and then pull out pin and re-glue pin to badge. I'm gonna guess that pin, if broken, has fallen down to the bottom of teh box. And if you reglue pin, it may not survive the reattachment. They are pretty brittle.
Option two, if option one does not work is to pull badge off and , as mentioned above, break off other pin and use 3M trim and badge adhesive tape to put the badge back on. The stuff is professional, I have several boxes that have badges applied that way and it's so clean no one would no the difference.
Option three is to just go buy a new %^&* badge. BUT, once you price one out , don't be suprised of the cost.
The 3M adhesive trim tape is what I'd do, but if that's gonna keep you up all night by not being all "OEM", I'd just buy a new badge. Your OCD will thank you.
