I would think any auto body supply store would have clips
that will do the job. They sell small packets of 5 or 6 that will either press
on or cut a groove into the pin and spiral down until the letter is locked in
place.

side ornamentation letter and number retention
Marv,
Try contacting Larry Jett. I remember he was
looking for a C on his side medallion that said good-bye on his Gaugin
convertible years back. Somehow he got the letter and affixed it so that
he could sell it to Jeff Miklas! By the way, when I replaced my
side bezels, etc., I used the small fasteners and epoxied over them not for
rattles but as insurance against what Larry had experienced. To this day
after driving my C I always glance at my side letters to see if they stayed
with me or fled for a divorce! I guess that is one of those subliminal
issues that makes my pulse race when lifting the door to the storage garage
when taking Mopsy out! 300’ly, Rob Kern

To any C, D or E members
who have had to secure the numbers and letters to the side quarter plastic
disc. I have searched but have not been able to locate the small
tinnerman like clips that hold the cast numbers and letter to the plastic red
white and blue disc. I can epoxy them but without some mechanical hold
onto the pins I fear they will only break lose. I have ordered numerous
clips and push-ons but with so small a height to the pin I can't get any to
hold. Anyone else have a similar experience. And thanks to all who
responded to my last question. Marv Raguse....57 and 58
300s...
