Here is an idea for mounting the badges.
Grind off the two tabs on the back, sand or lightly grind the
surface to roughen it at the center. Lightly sand the back of the
earth magnet. Mix a little of the cold weld bond to bond the
magnet and wait 16 hours. You must use this type of earth magnet
only as they are extreamly strong. Because the badge is concave
towards the center, the magnet is will be 2-3mm away from the
surface of the tank. Only the badge touches the tank. The magnet
doesn't touch or scratch your tank. If you want it to be
permenant then add some kind of silicone to bond it for good.
