I need three of these (the clip, not the quarter, but I will take quarters, too, if you're looking to get rid of some). They're from my '67 Delta 88, and they hold the front wheel well moldings on. When I removed the moldings, I discovered that three were either broken or missing altogether. Specific dimensions are 3/4" by 7/16" for the rectangular part and just under 3/4" long for the threaded part. Thank you.





P.S. Isn't that a nice close-up? I just got a new camera, and it has a hell of a macro mode. I didn't even have to mount the camera. Just held it in my hands and used the timer to make the exposure.

AMK has some fasteners that look 'close' but I'm not sure whether they would fit. Have you checked their website? BTW they will probably be glad to take your quarter.

I also looked at www.clipsandfasteners.com
They have this 'universal style' clip that can be trimmed to size. Again I'm not sure how it would work for your application. Good luck with your search. How's the 67 coming along? Did you get the supplies you were waiting on?

Wow, what a cool site! I hadn't seen it. Thank you.

That clip would work if I could bend those tabs around the way they are in the one I have so it attaches to the molding. Those "ears" fit over some tabs on the molding, and then the threaded part passes through the fender where you then put a nut on it to hold it tight.


As far as the car itself, yes, I received what I needed and finished the painting. I just need to get the trim back on, and it's taking longer than I thought it would (as what doesn't?). I'll post some photos in that other thread I started when I get it done.
