Letter mounts

Post by hotrod ford »

I am in need of some hood letter mounts. Just mounts, not the letters. Thanks

Aren't they just speed nuts on the back of the letters? 99.9% sure that's how mine are attached. Pins cast into the letters that poke through and a speed nut spun on.

Not sure what the are called, but the only one I do have does not look like a nut as one would go on a bolt. Can't find them in catalogs, have to buy the letters as well.

Have a look at these...
It'll either be speed nuts like these...

Or maybe barrel clips like these...

I put blobs of silicone on the tabs that stick through. Holds them on and seals the hole.

Yep, those barrel clips look like the one that I do have. Thanks for the info.
