Does anyone know where to get fasteners for Swinger emblems ?
They slide on the studs of the emblems.
If you look close, you can see a couple on an emblem.
I believe once these are on, the emblems push right in.
Thanks.

Those are called barrel clips and actually go in the hole first, not on the emblem stud.

There are many sizes depending on application. Here is an example...

You need to measure the shaft diameter of the stud on the emblem and the diameter of the mounting hole to choose the correct ones.
 
The correct OE way to mount those emblems is with the plastic retainers. They slide onto the emblem stud first and then you push them into the hole on the car. I've never seen the metal ones used.

I had to put the plastic pieces in boiling water to soften them up enough to slide onto the studs. I didn't want to press too hard and break one off.

Yah, saw these on eBay.
Did you use these on the swinger emblems,or ?
 
I used them on the DART and Swinger emblems on my 1970. The Dodge hood and trunk emblems use speed nuts.
 
Update:
Got the trim retainers 1994 RedRam suggested off EBay.
Pushed them over the pins, with the large end towards the emblem.
Lined them up with the holes and "popped" them in.
worked like a charm. Thanks RedRam and everyone else.
