65 side emblems

Need new emblems....was ready to buy from ebay NOS dealer and I noticed that the posts on the back were alot thinner diameter than mine. Most other items didn't even show the back.
Mine seem to be about a 3/16" diameter...isn't that correct?
Where can I buy the best replacements?
Thanks

I've had the best luck with Trim parts on emblems. The orange-red is the correct color for a 65.

I just looked at an original off my 65 and 3/16th is the right post diameter. I agree that Trim Parts is probably the best source for replacments but get ready for sticker shock!
