Abstract
A removable hood ornament is created in a manner which renders it virtually impervious to the wearing and corrosive action of time. A stock hood ornament and ornament seat element are both milled slightly. A shaft which will seat in a socket mounted on the underside of the vehicle hood is inserted up through the seat. The shaft has a threaded bifurcated top with a transverse bore therethrough which straddles the standard tongue of the ornament, with a pin passing through the bore of the shaft and through the mounting hole in the tongue to engage the shaft and tongue together. A threaded washer previously rotated onto the top of shaft is now tightened up against the underside of the ornament seat at a relatively high torque, which bends the pin and frictionally engages all of the parts together under sufficient force that for all practical purposes they will never come apart unless deliberately separated.
