Can anyone tell me, how the 68 front arrowhead is attached to the bumper? I can't figure out if these are screws or some kind of bolts. Do I have to take the bumper off to replace the emblem? Are there any additional spare parts I need?

Thanks,
Dan

It's attached with threaded studs on the back of the emblem. No need to pull the bumper, you just have to carefully pry it off.

Verdoro_68, are you indicating the studs are only "pressure fitted" onto the bumper and no nuts or rubber attached to the arrowhead studs?

I thought there were nuts on the back side of the arrow head emblem that have to be taken off,then pry the emblem off or wiggle it out?

Yes, at least on the two Enduras I've taken apart they were pressure fit.

Yep, the arrowhead is just jammed in there! Came that way on two bumpers I have. There's not even an access hole in back to get to any kind of nut that might hold it on.

Thanks to all, I will try to pry it off. Hope I don't ruin the paint around the emblem...

Endura: pressed into the rubber. So rock&lift it out.

68Chrome: nuts on the other side need unspun.


Both fine-Q Arrowheads avaiable from PY (I know for sure).

Hii
 
If you're replacing the front arrowhead emblem on a '68, make sure you get the correct size and mounting style—some are adhesive-backed while others require hardware. The reproduction ones can vary in quality, so look for OEM if possible or a trusted aftermarket supplier. Clean the surface thoroughly before installation to ensure a strong bond. It’s a small detail, but it really helps bring back that classic look and finish. Totally worth the effort for any restoration project! :Ithink:

I've removed them with two pieces of thin fishing line, one looped from each end top and bottom.
