Do not know if anyone here remembers seeing the Valve Covers I have on my BBC with the Xcrossed Flags/396 Emblem
one of the Xcrossed Flags/396 Emblem has come loose/off
these Valve Covers were bought in 2012 // so not bad IMO

What Kind/Type of Glue could I use to Reattach it to the VC
or should I just Drill a Hole in the Xcrossed Flag Emblem and the Valve Cover to attach with a Tiny Screw ??

IMO since it's going to be pretty hot, I wouldn't use emblem glue, I'd pull the covers and mechanically attach them.

I agree, the heat was my only concern. With newer adhesives they have all sorts of stuff out there that may work.
 
My old room mate worked at a place called Trike World where they took customers 2 wheeled Harleys and made Harley Davidson approved Trikes out of them, the kit came with a 2 part epoxy to attach the rear suspension to the Harley frame, I'd use a good epoxy like JB Weld, IIRC he did weld the frame parts together though, scuff the surfaces good

My vote is a two part epoxy as well. We've used that same extreme heat JB Weld before as well as other JB weld. They have two part epoxy for everything. Global industries use Belzona. Id use that if I wanted something bonded FOREVER. We've used Belzona on aircraft, boats and tanks (not armor). Belzona
