How would you fix the Chevrolet badge on an 87 tailgate? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It seems my big "CHEVROLET" badge on the back of my 87 has given up the ghost and let go. Luckily I saw it before I drove it somewhere and it broke completely off. One of the metal pins that fastens it to the tailgate broke, so now it will only hang by one side. I took it off to refurbish it and fix the issue.

What do you think is the best method of repairing this? Should I take it to a welding shop and have them tack me some new bolts on? I don't think glues or tapes of any kind would work out, because there is a plastic gasket that goes between the metal badge, and the tailgate itself. Any ideas would be appreciated.
