Re: Retainers for scripts

I certainly wouldn't argue with the experts, I may well be thinking of something totally different or misunderstanding the item in question.

I could easily see where a washer would be useful under the items shown in the illustration "picture 10" as these seem to screw on from the back side of the sheet metal. I do remember attachments of this type with a washer.

The item I remember being used at the Buick dealer for their nameplate and for many other emblems and scripts on vehicles that I painted was rather like item number 3136 shown in "picture 11".

It had a samll lip and was pressed into a hole in the sheet metal from the front side and the pins on the reverse of the dealer nameplate or script were just a pressure fit.
