R Model Badges and Letters

[Mr Black]

Can anyone please tell me if there is a trick to installing R Model hood badges/letters with the push on fasteners?

I can't seem to get them to secure to a standard that I am satisfied with.

Is there a trick to this?

I have not used any double sided mounting tape. Should I?

Hope someone can offer some insight.

Thanks

The only ones I am familiar with, used a stamped "speed nut" on the pins. Al

I just replaced an "A" on a hood and I pushed the letter in, installed the nuts and then loaded the back side with silicone so it won't fall out again.

Possibly the speed nuts are bent. Try reforming them with a pliers or get new ones. You can use something like a small deep well socket to push them tightly into place.
