Guest 41 sedanette Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 can anyone help, iv started to strip my 41 sedanette special for paint and after removint the beltline trim i discovered it to be rotten, not the car but the actual strip which the trim fastens to.. is this type of fastener still available? if not can anyone please help me to locate another fastener which will hold my stainless trim on when i come to refit it, thanks..

Guest Grant Magrath Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 How about some universal type T shaped clips? Essentially, a piece of flat metal with a small bolt and nut. They come in different widths, and can be ground down to whatever width to slide inside your trim. The down side over clips, is that you need access to the inside of your doors, etc, to do the nuts up. I can't remember who we got ours from now. Could have been Bobs.CheersGrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 41 sedanette Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 hi grant, cheers for your reply, ill get on to bob and see about ordering me some clips which you suggested..i have an idea which clips your on about as iv thought about using them before but was unsure they would suit..As for getting inside my panels to fasten the nuts i already have my interior stripped out so the panels are off, its just getting up behind the windows to tighten the nuts... joys of motoring i guess thanks again...kev ENGLAND..1941 buick special sedanette.
