vette-kid Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Can anyone tell me if anyone carries the clips for door cards on a 36 P2? I need the clips and the sweep on the bottom of the card. Bonus points if someone remakes the card itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette-kid Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Edit, I also need a few of the spring clips that hold the top of the window reveal in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Can you post picture of the clips. The Dodge used a slotted plate and a wire clip on the panels. If the same as the Dodge, the lower weatherstrip went between the door and the door panel and was held by the door panel fasteners. There is no good repro lower door seal that I know of that is really close to the original. There is a strip that is supposed to fit but it's not really close. On the originals, the rubber was vulcanized over a metal strip for rigidity. RS's no. 4709 shows the original shape but again , it's a little too small. I've been looking at different shapes myself, but so far have not come up with anything. As far as I know the door panels and those spring clips are not available. I don't know if those clips would be easy to change. A door panel can easily be made using the water resistant doorboard, just a matter of correct plotting of the mounting holes and installing the clips. If it uses the slotted retainers, they can be a bit of a pain to install as they have to be in the right location. They do give a little wiggle room to the actual clip. I made all mine with good success. Just curious, where are you located. PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette-kid Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 I thought of remaking the cars, but the clips give me pause. I think my cards are usable. Could be reinforced with some rigid plastic sheet maybe. The weatherstripping is shot though, so that's another problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
