The emblems used on the valve covers are the same as those used on the body sides. The problem is in how to permanently attach the emblems to the valve covers. I attached my emblems by locating and drilling appropriately sized holes through the roof of the valve cover, dropping the mounting pins of the emblem through the holes and securing from the underside with twist-on spring nuts and neoprene washers to prevent oil seepage. Three years now and still as good as new. Some have tried clipping off the mounting pins and using double sided adhesive tape but, in my opinion, engine heat causes the adhesive to fail after a period of time.
