I have a pair of "3100" hood side emblems for my 1953 that are in great shape except that one of the posts is broken off the back. These look to be pot metal, not sure welding would work out, the stud is behind the thin part of the emblem. Is there a way to repair these? If not does anybody have one to part with?
Thanks,
Mike

right, welding not possible - the mounting studs can be stuck back on with JB Weld or similar

Thats cool,but,,,,you'd be adding heat to your emblem, it might bubble the pot metal.

A good trained welder can weld them, they just need the correct stuff, I dont think many that can will, try gorilla glue at home depot


if its not broke....you didn't drive it hard enough!
