Take a stanley blade and slide it behind the headbadge onto the rivet and tap gently a few times with a small tack hammer until you cut threw the soft metel of the rivet you can also use a small fish knife that you should have in you fishing box. Takes about 30 seconds. JOB DONE!!!

good price free postage  too

i pretty sure those ones on ebay are a little too big and the headbadge will need drilling. jaydog did have the correct size if i remember right

i beg to differ they are the correct size as they have been fitted to all our  Raleigh bikes

I Beg to Differ differ, They ARE NOT the correct size. I have both and you need to drill the headbadge and frame. If the one's you have fit without doing so you dont have those ones. Mine are the correct size they just need a  little snip off the length. (ouch)

In fact ( hark at me, like a schoolboy) Choptastic (who is a very nice guy by the way) will even tell you that himself.

Compare.
