Repairing emblem studs?

Just looked at the spare I have downstairs, same part number, just need to check the rest of my stock. I'll report back later today.
 
I might be having some success.
Drilled the holes out to 7/64. Filed down the ends of a 6-32 machine screw and was able to screw it in the hole. They seem pretty tight. Tomorrow I will cut the head off, double nut it, put JB weld on the threads and screw it back in. Since it is a good tight fit I think the epoxy will set up enough to keep it from moving. If they last through the polishing and detailing, then I may be good.

Nice job, well thought out.:thumbsup:
 
The front piece may hav been from hitting something.
This one was bent so had to be replaced the other one was still straight but broke the top peg off.
