So I threaded the surviving pins, shaved the heads down on some brass screws, super glued them to the emblem, then used epoxy and filled in the recess around the screw. Plenty strong to hold the badge on fender. There you go.

Hopefully it'll last. I've never had much luck for long with Gorilla glues though.

Kind of like gluing the mirror on the windshield... :cuss:
