Hawk Trim Holes

[valleyguy]

Will soon be ordering and installing new script pieces on my Hawk, ("Studebaker", "Hawk" etc).
The small script holes in the front fenders are rectangle, as opposed to round. I assume the new script
pieces will come with the appropriate barrel nuts to fit these holes. How were these holes
produced, and more importantly, how can I reproduce them, on the nos trunk which has no
pre-drilled holes? Thanks,

The repro's come with round pins and clips.

JDP,do you know whether that would require filling in the old holes and redrilling new holes, or can I modify the existing rectangular
holes, which are 1/4" wide? I don't have the new trim or round clips yet so I am not aware of their size.
Thanks,

Joe

You usually can, but some times the pin spacing is off on the repro's and you'll break off a pin.
