   On a 57 Ford, what is the name of the two metal pieces on the lower A posts at the cowl?  They hold the cowl cardboard panels in place. 
    I need the name of them for the post Office so I can ship them overseas with some other parts.
    Thanks Jay

It's the kick panel support or bracket right?
It's also helps the Windlace lock into that area.

  That's correct.  For the mostpart in the wet climates, they rot out on the bottom like these two.
   On my 57, the lower sections were rotted also. Fortunately I had two rotted sets so I cut the tops of of one set and welded them to the bottom the other set.  Now I have one good set on my car.
   
   Jeff N. What do they call those parts up there in Canada? Jay

I wandered around in the Ford Illustrations Book for a while.  I didn't find them.  I got close but no banana.  I found the windlace clips, B7A-7002614-A Door Opening Windlace Retainers which are the clips that hold the windlace to the 'A' pillar.  I think the name you are looking for is DOOR OPENING WINDLACE GARNISH. In any case, this label will far exceed any description that Customs will require.

   That sounds good.  I hope that it does not confuse them too much.

   Those certainly are pretty. In wet and snowy Mass, we have to cut and weld rusty pieces pieces together
to get a good set.   It's a good lesson in "Don't throw anything away".
