Re: installing fender badges

Barrel nuts are what you need. You could probably get them at Fastenal or an auto body/paint supply store.

Re: installing fender badges

I always thought you could if you pulled the inner fender out... Could you that way?

Re: installing fender badges

Just like prong said barrel nuts are the easy way to go. GM used them on certain cars and emblems, I dont know why they didnt use them on all emblems. Here is a Nova emblem I found with barrel nuts, just push them into the holes simple

Re: installing fender badges

I just used a few dabs of clear silicone, put a pice of tape to keep them lined up until dry. They seem to be stuck on pretty well, I think I put them on almost 4 years ago.

Re: installing fender badges

It is impossible to get to the back nut because of the firewall/cab protrusion. Even with the fender well out.
