Curt Curtiss Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 One of our cars has what appears to be brass half oval trim and the chrome shop messed one piece up (they said it was weak to start with and about 3 inches broke off one of the sides). Our other car seems to have aluminum (maybe Stainless) trim. It looks like pretty common 3/4 inch half oval trim that uses spring clips.Any idea where to source trim like this? I would take brass, aluminum or stainless if I could find it. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kelso Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I can already feel the heat coming but here goes. I seem to recall that the trim from a VW Bug of the late 60's solved this problem for me. Takes a bit of tweeking . Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Curtiss Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Thanks for the tip! I just checked with a friend who has a bug and his does look to be the same dimensions, get a whole kit for $89 that fits a 54 to 63 bug from https://www.jbugs.com/product/111898111SS.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Car Fan Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) I believe you can get 1/2 round stock in brass. It can be plated and threaded studs can be attached to it for mounting. The brass should be fairly easy to bend to the contour it appears you need.
