Re: emblem stud repair
You may have to explore adhesives. Maybe try a push nut if there is enough stud left.

Re: emblem stud repair
grind the old studs off smooth with a die grinder then jb weld some small bolts from any hardware store in their place then after it hardens you can install the emblems and put nut's on from the back

Re: emblem stud repair
You can also grind them smooth, add a glob of the jb weld. After it has dried, drill and tap it so that you can screw your bolt into it from the back side. The stuff works great.

Re: emblem stud repair
I just did the JB-Weld trick today on my 68 front Grill Bowtie...
It worked perfectly... and now I have a "real" nut to work with as well Give it a shot, it was super simple and effective!
