I bought my rubber plugs for the floor from Dennis Carpenter. They should also have the emblem grommets (which are called barrel clips), but I bought mine from Bronco Graveyard.

I assume you are talking about the little rubber grommets that keep the side badges and hood letters on.....If so I have a poor mans remedy.. I do a lot of that and I got tired of trying to pry those little rubber turds out of the old hood letter holes. I would get about 1 out of 4 out without pushing them through or tearing them all up and my local small town Ford garage just laughed at me when I tried to buy some. What I do is get just the right gauge of electrical wire, strip the rubber coating off, (like you were striping a stereo wire) and keep the little piece of rubber that you stripped off. I then force that little piece onto the tab of the badge or hood letter then push it into the hole in fender or hood. You have to find just the right size of wire and I put a little dab of trim and molding glue on the tab and also on the outside of the rubber thats going into the little hole...Havent lost one yet
