Title: Quarter panel trim clips
Post by: Ford Blue blood on 2020-05-29 10:20
Looking for a source for quarter panel trim clips for the Ranchero.  The clips from Carpenters are a touch too small and will not hold the stainless.  I was able to salvage six of the original clips, they measure 57/64ths (as close as I can get), and hold the stainless as one would expect.

Any one that can help with info/source?  Thanks much.

Steven Schmidt on FaceBook group 'Fords of 1957' has them for $2.00.  I couldn't find the post so you'll have to message him.

Called and talked to Jerry Miller, he has been ordering them for the Ranchero restorations they did from a fellow in NC.  He says they have never had a problem with them so I ordered a handful and will let you know how they work.
