David,
Most of the bezels and emblems were pot metal and are subject to pitting but can be restored and re-chromed.
Broken fastening pins is common but can also be repaired. I have several hood letters with broken pins and my fix will be to gently drill out the broken stud/pin and insert a "new" pin and fasten it with JB Weld.
There are no new pins but salvage metal or other pin-type materials can be substituted for the original pin. Since my hood letters have small delicate pin type fasteners, I will be using rivet pins which will be much stronger & straighter than the originals.
Your fastening pins may be a bit thicker/larger diameter and you may investigate using some metal bar stock from Lowes/Home Depot or your local hardware store in the proper diameter, then cut to fit.
Let us know how it goes.

Subject: 1962 Dodge Script - Metal Type? / restoration? / attaching?
Hi all,
I'm posting this message that was misdirected.
Thanks,

What type of metal was used for Dodge Emblems in the 60’s?
I have two 500 scripts. One has one pin missing, the other has both
pins missing.
Is there a way to restore the pins?
Or, fasten them using an adhesive?
Any recommendations for having them re-Chromed?
Thanks
David C Hurd
