Torrington Eagle Nearly Complete

[vuniw]

Finally acquired a head badge for my Eagle. The only problem is the zip tie isn't as esthetically pleasing as if I had screws to hold the badge on. Does anybody have advice on finding the correct size screws?

Rivets

I came a cross this thread on here a while back, but these are rivets and screws would be more appropriate for your bike.

Looks like a great collection you have there. Any chance we could get some more pictures? The earlier stuff is not that common on here.

You need to find out what size hole you have. You could use a drill as a gauge for this. Find one that fits perfectly and that's your hole size, then call your bike friends and ask for that size screw (eBay also has a number of badge screws for sale).

If you don't have a range of drill bits you can always take a close-enough measurement with a tape measure with 32nds of an inch.

Sweet bike by the way!

Thanks for the help guys! Out of request I have included pics of my pre-1918 bicycles. I also have a collection of muscle bikes too but the wood rims take over enough space.

In the first three pics from left to right:
1. Dayton
2. Pierce
3. Racycle
4. Continental
5. Eagle
6. Unknown make (still need some help posted in a thread not long ago)
7. Geneva Special
8. Crawford
9. Crawford
10. Patee
11. Cleveland

The 4th pic is a Spillane Eagle.
The tandem on the wall in the 5th pic is a Crawford.
The 6th pic is a Racycle
The tandem in the 7th pic is a Pope Mfg. Columbia

Fantastic collection. I think that is the most adjustable bars I have seen in one place.

The Racycle is very cool. One of my favorite makes from that period.
