I searched a whole bunch and didn't find what I need. Please be kind ;-)
We replaced the trunk (boot) lid on our '72 CSi because the original was too far gone. When the resto shop returned the car (beautiful work), they couldn't quite figure out what sort of fastener or what captivated the back-side pins on the "3.0" and "CSi" emblems. The holes in the trunk metal are nicely already in the perfect spots as supplied from BMW. The emblem pins don't show any sign of a threaded fastener or "speed nut" having been applied from the first go around. There seem to have been lengths of "clear" heat-shrink tubing or some such having been used as captivation sleeves before, but they're too loose to work now.
Can anybody tell me what is the correct or the "preferred" method is to mount the 3.0 CSi emblem pins into the trunk panel?
