thanks,

The originals are called Flat Type -Speed Nuts and are made of spring steel. You push them onto the little stud that protrudes from the emblem. Sizes vary depending on dia. of stud. They look like #2099 and others shown here.

Like in response #2, I push them on with my finger enough to stay on and then push them home with a nut driver that is small enough to push in close to the stud. Obviously, holding the outside with your other hand.
