Those emblems look like the rear quarter emblems on a 1200.

For reference...

Ok, it is a little out of focus but you can get an idea.

 

EDIT: Another idea, if they do not come with the clips, is to cut pieces of vacuum hose to go over the part of pin that sticks through the fender. Not my idea but something I picked up somewhere along the way

Will these fit on the fenders of a 73 620? Like.. Just curious if i need to sticky tape them or if they work with the stock holes and inserts Fyi they're already ordered because these are (in my opinion) the best looking emblems. https://m.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-New-METAL-FENDER-EMBLEM-For-Datsun-1200-Coupe-Pair-/192301806083

They will fit but the holes most likely won't line up......

I think those are similar if not the same ones I'm using on my 521....

I welded the original holes then Made a cardboard template to drill the holes....

You might get lucky with just drilling new holes, and the emblem covers the old holes..

Proper push on fastening clips are in the misc fastener drawer at O'Reileys and other parts stores.  Why screw around with rubber hoses that will start to deteriate as soon as they meet smoggy air ?

Do you guys know a good way to repaint the decals? On my B210 I have all three decals but the color is worn out of them. Should I just paint them with some gloss paint as if I were painting a model car/airplane?

 

Paint pen works well.
