My L34 has had a  replacement front panel fitted at some stage of it's life but whoever fitted it was too lazy to refit the chrome  T O R A N A  letters . They were held in place by plastic push in plugs that gripped the 2 pins on the back of the letters .  The pins are only 2mm thick and rares here in NZ can't supply anything , can anybody help me with sourcing something to fit ?

LH Torana on front apron use the plastic sleeve type retainers to hold letters in.
See pictures. Rare spares were looking at getting them re manufactured in 2015
Not sure if they sell them yet.
Hopefully the pictures come through okay.

Thanks for your reply , l couldn't find anything like the  sleeves  in your picture .....main RS  dealer in Christchurch said they weren't being made . Local  RS dealer had some very hard plastic sleeves that  were 4mm  dia , so l used those and then passed a drill through them  so the 2mm pins on the back of the letters would fit  .

Yes l did thanks ,  metal ones were too  big , wouldn't grip the pin  .   The ones l did use  were avvailable locally , l didn't want to  buy  any from out of town and find they wouldn't do the job .
