glovebox door emblem

I ordered and received a glovebox emblem for my 67. Is there supposed to be some sort of inserts to put in the glovebox door holes because the emblem mounting tabs are much smaller diameter than the holes in the door

Re: glovebox door emblem

I believe they use barrell nuts....it looks something like this.....I actually cut the tabs off mine and used double-sided emblem tape....

Re: glovebox door emblem

Mine fit nice and snug, I had to push it pretty good to get it in there. Maybe your holes are a little wallowed out? You could try wrapping the tabs in something to make them thicker or if you haven’t painted yet just fill the holes and drill some new ones to the correct size.

Napa usually carries the barrel nuts.

Re: glovebox door emblem

I tried the barrel nuts but ended up using double sided tape. It's held up for several years now.
