Guest martylum Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi-Try Restoration Specialties in Windber PA. See their website and get their catalog for lots of useful hardware. If they don't have original style molding clips they can probably provide a universal clip for your stainless moldings.Martin Lum56 Buick Century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 They are just generic flat clips with threaded studs. Restoration specialties sold me every clip needed for the side trim on my 55. I think 3 or four different sizes was all it took.........Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robban Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi, do they look like this?Robban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Bacically, yes. You will need maybe 3-4 different sizes to accomadate differing widths of the trim. Restoration specialties has thier catalog on line. If I remember it takes about 50 total clips for a 55 Buick...........Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robban Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I will check the website after clips. Thanks for the help.Robbanwww.lundbergracing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This may help in choosing the number of each clip needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob McDonald Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 A similar diagram, showing each sweep spear moulding and its required fasteners for all models of postwar Buick, is included in the Parts Manual. It has the factory part numbers, of course, which don't match up with Restoration Specialties' numbers. However, their catalogue has full size illustrations of each clip, so you can match any samples you have. Their selection looks pretty good and they might be able to tell you what clips are needed for your car.Catalog-PDF - moulding clips are on pages 131 to 133.

Guest Robban Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi the problem is that i don't have anything to look at.I had hoped that there was someone who knew what they looked like . But I can measure the moulding and check their catalog./Robban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any size clip will adjust itself to a range of molding widths, that's why you only need a few sizes to cover the whole length of trim. As for amount needed just count the holes. It works for me..........Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
