Correct hood release handle clip?

I need a hood release handle clip for my '72 Supreme and I see two different designs on ebay. One with the tabs and one without...which one will I need?

doesn't matter...and, if you look around on ebay, etc. you can get a bag of 20 or 25 or so for the same "all in" price as ONE from any of the typical repro vendors.

"All in" meaning the clip and the handle?

No - I was talking about just the clips themselves. If you also need a handle then yes, go to the repro vendor w/the best "all in" price...which means part cost + SHIPPING.

You didn't say anything about the handle in your original inquiry here.

Correct. I don't need the handle, and I don't need 25 clips either....lol

So after looking back at the descriptions of the second and third pics I posted, it says they're actually for the door lock rods. I also noticed that the Fusick clip is designed little different than the other ones. Design change or is it because the middle two are door lock rod clips?

This is Dorman part number 75453. Has anyone ever tried it?



Also, how does it attach to the hood release handle? Can anyone provide pics?

Thanks for the links. How do they actually attach to the pull handle?

The end of the handle shaft goes into the slot on the right side of the clip, then slide the clip over and the upper tabs on the right lock it onto the shaft.
