Re: {Chrysler 300} Question on installing spring clips for nose letters on my 1959 300 E



Thanks Ron.
I think that may be the issue...I'll file the sides
of the hole down a bit.  

As to photos from below... the lower part of the nose part of the hood
is not accessible...it's wrapped in metal. Maybe my hood
is different from original.

Rob -
 
The pin goes thru the hole. Then the retainer slides onto the pin on the back side of the hood.
 
From your photos it appears that you may have a layer of body filler that may impede the pin from sliding fully thru the hole. Please shoot a picture from underneath the hood showing how far the pin protrudes thru the hole.
 
Thanks,
 
Ron

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Question on installing spring clips for nose letters on my 1959 300 E

 

Hello 300 Group

 

About three months ago after a nice Sunday drive I discovered my LETTER

“Sâ€? on the hood nose of my 300 had disappeared.  I suspect it just fell out.

I was able to find a replacement S from the Quigly company. It is 

not chromed…but it will do. Then I learned I needed a set of spring clips

to properly attach it.  I was able to get the spring clips…a set of 8! 

Now the challenge of how to properly install it? I tried putting it in the hole

and gently tapping the clip. This did not work adequately. Then I tried

attaching it first to the post of the letter and gently tapping that into

the hole. This resulted in the post on the letter bending. Any advice on how

to properly install my new letter.  I did think about using adhesive….

however the proximity to the radiator leads me to believe an adhesive will fail due to the heat.  

I will be grateful for some good advice?

Here’s a few photos….

 

Thanks.  

Rob
