I don't like the push-on connectors. If the pins on badges or other trim
are around 1/8 inch (I guess if they are any standard size) you can get a
sheet-metal "nut" that spirals onto the pin cutting a shallow thread as
you go. It holds tight, in fact does a better job than the standard
clips, yet is easy to remove. I think the ones I've gotten are called
speed nuts or speedy nuts--something like that. It's the sort of thing
you get to hold the wheels on cheap barbeque pits and such, in miniature.
