I used MCB Metal restoration for my 68 Grille and bezels. They came out really nice. It wasn't cheap, and for what I paid I thought they would have fixed the mounting hardware and such, but they didn't.

Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

I am surprised they didnt fix them as part of the service.

I heard a guy at a swap meet say that he was able to take some small screws (10/32?) and tack weld them onto the spot where the stud broke off. If you are a patient person, it might work!
