It was pretty easy. Note in the pic the two holes. It's actually a 2 part badge. The back part has the adhesive. We got that measured and set to where the curves of the badge matched the curves of the tank. Some thought the badge was too low but raising it up, the angles didn't marry up.

Then take the 2 small phillips screws and screw in the top part of the badge and viola!
