Default Installing a new radiator tag

I need to install the above on my 69 Z28. OG one was missing. Do I remove the battery so I can get to it better and just tap the tag in the lip of the radiator or should it also be soldered in there?

Original was soldered.

I would just keep it in an envelope until the next big service. You could clip it on, but always a chance it pops off. Don't know how often or how hard you drive it.

Obviously not likely to pop off sitting in the garage.

I drive it about 300 miles a year. Car is pretty much done as far as big repairs left. I will take the battery out so I can get to it well and attach it with a little epoxy. I have had this tag about five years or so. Might as well put it on I suppose.
Thanks guys

You could put a little silicone on the back also, that's what I did.
