Title: Trim Clip Question
Post by: lalessi1 on 2017-02-25 08:30
I am replacing the right hand trim on my Custom Tudor. The old trim had been removed before and I am missing the clip in the very front. I looked in the parts book and the part number is an unique number with no drawing that I can find. Does anybody know what it is supposed to look like?

If you can't find an original, Mac's (and probably the other suppliers) sells a universal clip that you can trim down to the width you need. Should do the job and would not be visible.

I used some aftermarket clips on my Ranchero and noticed they were just zinc plated mild steel so I covered them in grease before using them to help stop them rusting and just wiped away any excess grease that oozed out from behind when I'd fitted it in place.

Thanks Randy for the pic. I at least know now what I am looking for! (my internet has been down for a couple of days)
