Thanks to Jess for the information about Photo Point, I'll try to post a picture here, and we'll see if it works. I ordered a hood emblem for my 8N from one of the big mail-order parts suppliers, and when it came I was disappointed in it. It's a crude aluminum casting with holes in the metal and three posts on the back with no threads to secure it to the hood. Worst of all, it was painted backwards - with the "Ford" in red on an unpainted background instead of the other way around. So, today I primed and painted it - then I used a Dremel tool with wire brush to buff the raised letters and rim. Then I drilled small holes through all three posts in back. I figure I can secure it to the hood by putting washers on the posts, then running wire through the holes in the posts. There's no way this metal would have held threads, I don't trust "clips" on something this hard to get to, and my grandpa used to say "war" would fix anything! I think the emblem came out OK - it looks a lot better than it did, anyway.
