Pal/Speed nuts or Barrel nuts for emblems on 68 442
I see them called PAL nuts or Speed nuts, or would Barrel nuts be a better choice for the 442 on fenders and deck lid? I kind of like the idea (had them on an old mustang) of the barrel nuts as it was easy to remove emblems and detail these areas...Opinions?

Bad thing about the barrel nuts is they can chip the paint, causing rust!
Someone used to make 'speed nuts' with rubber washers, but haven't seen those in 30 years! They would seal the hole, from the back.
Detail with Q-tips!

I just found a bunch of them when I was putting my car back together. I'm pretty sure they were used in specific places but I didn't take the car apart so I couldn't tell you where that was.

I did find some Pal/Speed nuts with sealer, I like that plan better. You are right about the Barrel nuts...the did chip up the paint on my mustang.

Thanks for the info on my nuts. Two cuts and not one. Do ya think it might be a good idea to put some sealer in the nuts like 3-M rope caulk? nahh, not like it will be soaking anywhere I hope. Awesome link Trip Duece! Thanks everyone.
