Default Sail Panel Emblems

My sail panel emblems for the '74 came. They look gorgeous. However, they are the 2-post variety and unfortunately the posts do not match the actual holes on the sail panels of the Monte.

Any idea how I can remove at least one of the posts?

Superbummed out by this.

A Dremel cut off wheel, hacksaw, maybe even a pair of sharp wire cutters. Maybe you could carefully grind it off with an angle grinder or a bench grinder. Also what about making an additional hole in the sail panel to match it up with the emblem.

I'd say use a bench grinder or a dremel. But very carefully. Or you could drill a new hole.
