I picked some up at ace hardware in their specialty fastener trays, take it with you so you get the right size.

Not exactly sure which hood emblem you were referring to
but this should cover all of them:

Not exactly sure what clips your referring to
My old one had a receiver to accept a bolt or stud.

The fastener is broken off in these pictures

I was looking for a replacement for the factory clips on the back of the (front) hood emblem dads50 shows. Are those welded in there or is there any way to replace broken one's? Thanks

Looks like the originals are tacked in or pressed.

This will be a tricky repair.

I'm pretty sure the edge of the emblem is rolled over
as you suspected, crimping it in place.
The new emblems are well made and not that expensive.
