 Purists will wince: When I re-emblemed my '71 I didn't trust the 
plastic sockets
to retain the badge, given the popularity of VW emblems amongst Beastie
Boys fans at the time, so I pop-rivetted it on (it was Chrome, so they didn't
show up too much). Inelegant, but very effective.

 I used the original holes.
 Cheers,
