i have a good hood emblem off my 53 3100, the clips rotted off does someone make clips to to remount it?

ace hardware. $.25 each.

my clips are completely gone also. I would like to see the ones from ace hardware. I doubt it has the formed metal to fit the emblem. Just a crew is what I am thinking. We will probably have to remake the sheetmetal piece from scratch.

yea you would figure someone would repop them by now

I will be attending the street rod nationals next weekend. If I run across a vendor that has them I will let you know how to order a set. There should be plenty of people selling parts for these trucks.

great thanks

Are you talking about the front stainless 'Chevrolet' ornament or the 3100 badges on the sides ?

I have an earlier '48 cast metal center ornament that has 4 bosses and screws for mounting, and the '51 had a stamped stainless center piece with 4 steel mounting pieces welded in place - these rust apart. I replaced the steel with some ss flat stock and tig'd in in place with some silicone bronze rod - it doesn't req' a lot of heat.

yea nice fab work on that, i wonder why no one repops them clips, since the stainless last forever

b.sharp · 07-24-2014, 02:35 PM

yep, that would be the pieces I need. Not the little round clip on for the stud. I don't have anything but the emblem. Everything in the back has long rusted away. My emblem is not really worth messing with, it's really pitted on the front and has a couple of holes but it was free and a buddy of mine gave it to me. It will likely become wall art and I will look for a better one to put on my truck.

The ones crossfire84 showed should work but Running down to ACE and going through those pull out drawers above the bolt bins might be pretty productive. Or stop by Fasteners if there is one locally with one of the emblems. A search shows that Honda uses a similar clip on some hood ornaments but no idea of the size.

Reviving this. Did anyone make any good headway finding hardware?

b.sharp · 04-02-2015, 11:47 AM

no luck finding replacement tabs. I need the correct emblem for my '50. I found one for a later model but the steel tab pieces have rotted away. I need to make some or figure out a mounting system. I just have way to many other things to worry about right now. The emblem is very low on the to do list.
