70-72 cutlass S / 442 NOS B85 Score

I have been looking for nice B85 belt reveal mouldings for my 71 442 for a while now. I have searched online at a couple of sights I visit and found two of the drivers side quarter moldings, part number 8731769. Unfortunately, no passenger sides available anywhere I looked. I received the moulding today in the mail and it is beautiful. For anyone interested, there may still be the other one available, as indicated on the Parts Voice website at LES Auto Parts in New Jersey. The website says it is still there and when I called last year I believe he wanted around $90.00. Their number is (732) 329-6128. I know a couple of people on this site periodically indicate they are looking, and I believe someone may have gotten the set that was recently offered on Ebay.
If anyone happens to find a nice passenger side quarter moulding, part # 8731768, I'd appreciate a notification. Hope someone is able to use this drivers moulding.

Brian, I have the B85 aluminum, but need to attach the rubber kit. Can you post some detailed shots that show how the NOS piece is done? I'd really appreciate it.

Here you go Allan. Hope it helps. Do the repro fuzzies come with the plastic pieces at either end?
I notice there are only three screws to hold the moulding on vs. five for the regular fuzzy. They've eliminated the screw hole behind the glass that you can't easily access.

I spoke with him in 2012, and as stated he's still selling through Parts Voice. It's amazing how long some of these guys can stay at it. I deal with another place in Chicago, and had bought NOS parts from them back in the late 80's. Good for them and good for us.

Were the pictures I posted any help to you? Do the repro fuzzies have the plastic pieces attached at both ends?

Thank you Brian! That's exactly what I wanted to see. I have some round bead replacement moldings that I obviously can't fit in that, but now I have something to go on for the B85 rubber pieces I need to order. Patton Glade suggested using the ones from Fusick. Not sure if Steele Rubber makes these, but I'll check. I've bookmarked your post for future references. Thanks again.

Hey Allan, i'm pretty sure Patton recommends the ones from Steele. I believe the part # is 80-0989-57
