Emblem gromet/sleeve/holder ?

[sgarver]

Trying to find a source for the gromets that hold the F150 emblem to the cawl on a 78. Its the plastic piece that the pins on the emblem go thru. Anyone know where they can be found?

I believe this is what you need. Barrel clips for emblems. They are the same used for the cowl emblems and FORD letters.

Where do you live ?

Visit your local bodyshop supply place, they have all that stuff

Pico or Motormite

Were they metal or rubber? I could only find metal ones when I looked, but that was my my local store.

^^^That's the ticket...no need to search any further IMO. Since I'm a cheap bastard, I always look for the most for my money and IIRC, the clips that are advertised for the hood or tailgate letters are cheaper per clip and yield more clips. Given it's only a few cents, but like I said, I'm a cheap bastard.

Same here...I haven't been able to find plastic clips from my local stores...doesn't mean they don't exist though. Because it does kinda suck to pay $11 in shipping for a $2 order.

They were metal. They looked exactly like the clips that were on other emblems I had so I thought they were supposed to be metal.

I got some from JBG and they are plastic.
