Square Slide on Clips for Lower Trim Pieces

[alfasrule]

My GTV-6 got a good hit at the end of last year. Lost the front cowling and one side piece. Thanks to Plantmojo I've got them, painted them yesterday.
What I'm looking for is the clips that go into the body. Is there a good replacement? Please HELP!!

I'm looking for another 8-10 of them myself. Totally NLA, so eBay or a generous Alfisti is your best bet.

I'm going to experiment with a nylon/resin casting kit, using one of mine as a mold. I'm worried the result might be to brittle, but then again they don't really bear a lot of weight, so it might work. And restorers use those kits to manufacture all kinds of parts, from steering wheels and shift knobs to hood props.

Now, for the lower row along the side, you can use a standard plastic mollie (3 or 5 mm? Most Lowe's actually stock them in the hardware section, with the auto trim bits) in the metal, then use a stainless screw and washer to retain the trim. Since you can't see it anyway, no harm, no foul.

Can you post a picture of what you need? Many body moulding clips for cars can be found at Auveco:

Ordered a couple of what might fit from another website simular to the one suggested above. If they work I'll send ya some cause I had to order 2 Dozen each chairmankaga.
Tell ya by the end of the week, when I get them in. Thought there might a been a vender that had the direct or simular replacement.

Awesome. Keep me posted!

Does anyone know the size of the holes, by the way? I think they're 5mm... but I'm just not sure.

Too much for me 15.00 a clip give me a break. I'm getting 30 for 30.00, and willing to share if they work! The Square hole is ~3/8 of an inch, and the Square Clip is 3/4 inch square, sorry I'm a Merican. Got some pieces coming we'll see. If I go to a car show and some looks at my Trim clips I'll Yield. Shoot I still got the original Carello wipers on the car. Put 14K on her last summer after 5 years of hibernation. Fall drive to R.I. think I ran over a dead muffler, caught air Cool but not for me GTV-6 Best car ever 20 years I've owned this one.

Any chance the place you ordered the bits from has a pic of one online?

There is a guy on ebay located in Israel that had some genuine clips. They still had plently left last time I looked.
