Re: {Chrysler 300} Re: 1958 300D Chrysler Letters on front of hood

[John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It would not be unwise to just put a dab of 2 part epoxy or weatherstrip cement on the back of the pins let it set up even with no clips . No one is looking at back of clips under the nose of hood? Even if just put on pins if accessibility issues 

Those clips are marginal , similar approach was used on letters on the large side medallions 
The F fell out of a lot on them in the past .See if yours can be wiggled .  Impossible to find the “F “  or “E” compared to 300 say, today .  

Just another way to look at fixing it . Body shops do that and I have seen mopar with a dab of body “ dum dum” from factory on back as a way to seal up holes against water and rust . I think the F trunk lid has that ? Some used flat  “ tinnerman” clips —they rust and release grip on pins , letter falls out . 

Just input…

[EXTERNAL EMAIL]

Does anybody have the very little rectangular clips that go into the rectangular holes in the front of the hood that the letters slide into to hold the letters  in place

That they would be willing to sell

 

Or does anybody know where I can buy some

 

Thanks

 

Larry
