Using the hardware that comes with the emblem, grind the two posts down to remove the excess behind the speed clips after they are installed, and you're done. Not sure what the problem is that you are trying to solve.

I had to cut the posts and make a bracket to JB weld to the post then the grille. The other side I used wire and drilled a hole in the post(I think, been awhile). I dont think you could weld the emblem since it is cast.
