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.

300 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...
