914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Lid grill letters

Posted by: last337 Sep 20 2015, 02:29 PM

I have all the PORSCHE letters for the engine lid grill but am curious how you all have them afixed to the grill itself. Mine mostly have the pins but I cant tell how you get them to stay in place when inserted through grill

They're held on with speed nuts. I didn't have any so I purchased a die (6-32) and tapped the pins and used regular nuts.

The original nuts has a rubber insert. (Vibration proof?). Ace hardware has the speed huts sans rubber. They worked fine for me going on 2 years and stil tight.
