I've thought about drivescrews, but if I understand them correctly they're driven in, and can't be turned out. They have a small domed head that looks as if it wouldn't be easy to drill out. So they're cheap, easy to install, look good and hold well. Very nice solution until next time someone wants to remove the drive screws and headbadge to repaint the frame. What do you do then? It's shortsighted to do something that someone later is going to regret--I'd say that it's committing a "Drew." I see the same concern about the various permanent adhesives people have suggested. Among other things, I think whatever method one uses to attach a headbadge should also be reversible. I lean toward the idea of self-tapping sheet metal screws. Any ideas of finding some with a simple round slotted head?
