I am looking to see who makes push clips that I can use on the stainless belt line trim. Previous owner sealed the holes. I would prefer to redrill new holes and use some sort of push in clip to re-mount. Any prefered vendors?? As always thanks for any and all help
I just installed the trim on my 52 last year, I thing chevs of the 40s sells the clips, If I had it to do over again, I would mount it with modern trim adhesive. I put some dents in my trim trying to get it to snap on to the clips...
I don't know how they sealed your holes, but if they didn't weld them I would just clean them out and go back with the factory stuff. I did my 50 last year. They were taped with bondo. The clips worked fine for me.
Do you think these from FASTENAL will work? Buddy sent me the link. <!-- Product Thumbnail --><!--determine image size--><!--/determine image size--> <!-- style="margin:24.66666666666667px 0.0px" --> <!-- /Hidden container --> <!-- /Highslide gallery --> <!-- End Product Thumbnail --> GM: 1244839
I got mine for Bobs cl***ic chevy, came as a kit for the whole belt line, but the same clips are used in other places also. MrC.
Make it easy on yourself,go to your body man and get some modern adhesive. Traditional ? No, but only you will know and the muthers wont ever come off. Cheers Rod
No, it comes in a tube (or cartridge). Its 4.28 am here at the moment, I will check it out in about 4 hours. WATCH THIS SPACE. And I'll be fked, this is post#1,000 and here I am helping someone. Better pat me on the back. Cheers Rod
These guys are local to me and all of my car-guy friends have great experiences with them. Give them a call-they will most likely have what you need. http://www.justclippsauto.com/
Sorry to take a little longer, but the product of which I speak comes in a cartridge and is called "MS1" made buy a company WURTH. Hope this helps. I am sure Sikaflex would make a similar product. Best of luck and Merry Christmas Cheers Rod If your holes are filled, then its gotta be worth a go.
