59 hood emblem nut size?

Hey guys, quick question here about a 59 hood emblem. What size are the nuts that attach to the threaded inserts on the back of the emblem?
I'm not sure if they are 10-24 or 12-24. Or some other size. Can anyone provide the proper nut and threaded insert size?
Thanks,
Tod59

Thanks guys. Sounds like speed nuts will work.....but......0ne of my threaded inserts is missing (that screws into the back if the emblem) and I need to also replace that. I guess the threaded insert is 10/24 thread.
