Repairing emblem studs?

[LocuMob]

Have a happy birthday. That takes priority. They only come once a year.

What a debacle it's been.

Just looked at the spare I have downstairs, same part number, just need to check the rest of my stock. I'll report back later today.

I might be having some success.
Drilled the holes out to 7/64. Filed down the ends of a 6-32 machine screw and was able to screw it in the hole. They seem pretty tight. Tomorrow I will cut the head off, double nut it, put JB weld on the threads and screw it back in. Since it is a good tight fit I think the epoxy will set up enough to keep it from moving. If they last through the polishing and detailing, then I may be good.

This front molding piece that is 3/8” will be much easier.

Man, I'm surprised that busted.... Thanks for the warning!

The front piece may hav been from hitting something.
This one was bent so had to be replaced the other one was still straight but broke the top peg off.
