They can't be removed..They've been welded in and I aint using the angle grinder on that Duck..
Also I want a little Ducky raincover so it doesn't get wet in the winter 🤔
Ok Mate,

In that case, do a combination of what myself & Don said.

Remove the nuts & washers. Stand the duck on a sheet of cardboard. Poke the threaded parts through the cardboard. Then draw around the base of the duck.
Cut around the circular outline & tidy up the two holes.
Hey presto, one template 🙂

The other thing to consider is an MOT fail.
A tester "could" consider it a dangerous projection & therefore a danger to pedestrians.
Even the proper Jaaaaaaag bonnet ornaments are technically illegal on modern cars.
Obviously, you could remove it before an MOT though.
If push comes to shove I would take it off and put it back on again afterwards...

No different to what a lot of biker's do with exhausts 👍

I've actually looked into the legalities of a hood ornament and it is only illegal if it causes loss of forward visibility...
The only time anyone can say anything about the hazard to pedestrians is post exo facto...It as to be proven that the hood ornament was a contributing factor to injury caused to a pedestrian if involved in an accident...
As opposed to the twin machine guns concealed behind the radiator grille.

But then I would not be able to see it and daydream I was charging towards a tank on a bridge at ramming speed with Ernst Borgnine blasting me with a machine gun 🙄
Also then I gotta remove the bumper and that sounds like a lot of hard work..
That being said I shall have a look and consider it...
Although I think mounted on the hood looks ducking awesome beyond my wildest dreams 🤩🤩🤩
