I just purchased new seat emblems for my deluxe interior '68 coupe. The emblems I removed had two tabs that were bent over behind the upholstry. The new ones have two posts and NO nuts or fasteners to attach them. I don't even see any in the Rick's catalog. For $55, I would think they should be included. Does anyone have experience with this? What can be used to screw onto the posts to secure them to the seat? Thanks!

Originals had a backing plate inside the seat to hold the emblems on. Here's a picture...

If the "new" emblems don't have the same type of tabs to attach them to the backing plates, it looks like yet another example of an incorrect repop and you'll probably have to drill holes in the backing plates and use speed nuts.

Thanks for the pics. I agree with you on the repros-one thing for sure is they know how to charge!
