had to buy a new 440 emblem for my 65 coronet.
the old one only had 1 post and whatever was holding it on started to loosen, so I don't want it to make marks in the paint.

I don't have any nuts that fit I guess. I have a bunch off a 68 fury, but they are all too big.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I see year one sells them but can't tell what size either.

I've found them at my local hardware store.
"Retromotive" on Ebay also has a wide array of hardware.

There is a shop/retail supply store near my house that specializes in restoration and maintenance on old VWs , sandrails, etc. Haven't been there in a while but they used to have drawers and drawers full of stuff like that. I'm sure someone has them near you, just have to figure out who.

I have never seen these before.

These look like something I have seen before.

The second pic shows the kind of fasteners that were used on my '65 Belvedere. When I needed more the VW shop had them.

Of the ones pictured:
Don't know what the red ones are.
The others are push-on, and a SOB to remove later.
Get stamped thread-cutting nuts.
Barrel nuts may work too.
