455 Rocker Emblem Mounting hardware
 
I'm wanting to add the 455 emblems to the rocker panels on my LeMANS. The emblems have arrived and have two holes that look like a good place for a screw but I expected them to be threaded or thicker if I was using a screw to cut threads.

What is the proper fastener to attach these with?

Does anyone no how far they are supposed to be back from the fender opening?

Not sure what year your LeMans is, but on my 70 Tempest the rocker emblems use self tapping screws about 5/16" long and 5/32" diameter. The first mounting hole starts at about 4-11/16" back from the wheel well and about 2" up from the bottom. Hopefully someone has a source for the screws, I've been looking without any luck.

My 428 rocker molding emblems have these screws. I may have a box.

I would have thought screws would have come with the new emblems are worst case you had to buy them separate but sold with them if you needed them.

At least I know what they look like now.

If your rocker trim isn't already drilled, make a template for drilling them. The bosses for one of the screws on mine was offset slightly from horizontal. Ask me how I know. Thank god I drilled small pilot holes first to check the alignment and was able to elongate one hole up slightly and one hole down slightly to get them level.
