On the heels of refinishing the badge to the SSP I am refurbing, I can't find any push nuts or retaining clips or anything to hold it on. The originals crumbled to dust.
What do you all use?

I take the badge with me to my local Ace hardware, they carry the same fasteners as the original ones. You just have to find the right size. Some people glue them back on with RTV. Nice job on the badge by the way.

Tried ace, Lowe's, and home Depot.
I can't even find something online!
 
Hmm, my Ace has a section where they have all the various screws, nuts, whatever in little slide out drawers that you pick through and put your stuff in one of the little plastic bags they have. Your Ace may be different. Those fasteners are called speed nuts, push nuts, or tinnerman nuts. I know they at least are available online, but I'm not sure what size you would need.
 
This is what they look like, my local AutoZone has these. I'm guessing one of those sets is the right size.Screenshot_20230720-184535.png
 
I'll check them out. The website says it is out of stock and the closest one with them is 30 minutes away, so hopefully that's wrong.
