I'm looking to mount the 3 fender starbursts on my 65, but cannot get in behind to the 2 nuts per emblem.
I know I could use 3M double sided mounting tape and probably will, but is there something that one could put in the fender holes, and have the emblem pins push through and lock into?
weren't barrel clips used in many instances even on the assembly line?
Using my car as an example, I believe that proper nuts were always used on the fender emblems, but the "P-O-N-T-I-A-C" letters on the tail panel used barrel clips - the only nerve wracking part of using barrel clips, is not knowing if they may chip the paint upon installation.

Wouldn't an auto body supply shop in Canada be able to get some barrel clips for you? I'd try Carquest or whoever is close by and forget about shipping costs.

Mark there is a clip/fastener guy comes to swap meets regularly. I think he is in the Hamilton area. He may be vending Sunday and if you are not going send me a pm with the sizes and amounts you need and if he is there I will buy them for you and then we can arrange something for delivery.

if nothing else pans out (and my math is correct about you needing twelve) I can see what used ones I have.
