I thread my emblem posts @ 10/24 and put nuts on them.


Strangely enuf, barndoor emblems were always threaded. (and have 3 posts, not 4)


Wanna accentuate the split?  Ever seen the barndoor attennas that mount
between the windsheilds, on the separating pillar?  Can't do that on a
"normal" splittie, though...
