Barrel Nut or Speed Nut part number

I searched the board and didn't find what I was looking for. When you attach the sunbeam letters to the hood, there is a round clip that I refer to as a barrel nut or a speed nut. The auto part store used to have them on that rack that has all the parts with the brand name "Help!". Does anyone know the part number or a place to buy those. I don't want to glue the letters on because they keep coming off.

I think the part you are refering to is called a friction bush - rootes part number 9132936. Not sure were you would find them though.

Clip for chrome letters

The clip you need for attaching the letters on the front of the car (I'll assume you know they DO NOT attach to the bonnet, but to the surround panel between the bonnet and the grill) is available from Sunbeam Specialties, part #ET 78. Rear letters use a different set of hardware.
