Beg to differ Greg. My first registered car was a HJ Holden ex PMG panelvan with end gate badge (part No. 9933763) which was held on with two pins and two tubular 1/8th clips (part No. SP1606). The 'HOLDEN' badge was metal, same as the engine capacity badges, chrome outline to the letters and infill painted black.
I removed the badge, indented around the two holes and bogged them up, painted it with touch up paint from Repco.
The 4.2 and 5.0 engine capacity badges also have two pins held in with the same tubular clips.
Just checked the HZ parts manual and it is the same.
Plate - name 'HOLDEN' part No. 92011680 qty 1
clip - name plate part No. SP1606 qty 2
The end gate name plate and engine capacity badges were deleted on HZ Sandman and the RTS badge was re-positioned to below the tailgate crease.

sean ..beg to differ is not a problem..:o..i was wrong and when i went looking i found that i was having an old man moment and was thinking of wb holden badge in plastic...my mistake...so therefore i have no badge for a hj tailgate...:D
Hehehe, I have those moments quite frequently myself..... the older I get the more frequent they happen.. not to mention my eyesight isn't what it used to be...:errf:
I went looking for a tailgate badge on Ebay and in eight or so pages of Holden badges not one was listed.... there should be heaps of them around as every base model HJ to HZ van and ute had one....

A quick question on this subject......
Did all models originally have this central badge? or just Hq/Hj models?
Cheers Al
