55 Fargo Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 Hi, does anyone happen to know a good source where I could buy either NOS or new body/door side trim clips for my 48 Chrysler. I still have the old ones, they are rough, but I suppose I could either sandblast them in a cabinet or dip them in acid or take them into a rad shop and see if they could put them in a basket or some container and acid bath them. I have also considered cleaning them up on a wire wheel, then painting them with a rust paint and be done with it. Has anybody else run into this and what have you done to clean up these little rusty clips, before using them again..........Thanx Fred Quote
oldmopar Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 I have not used them in a while but I have purchased trim clips for my P15 from restoration specialites a link is below http://www.restorationspecialties.com/products.htm Quote
Brendan D25 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Fred, are you familiar with "OLD AUTOS" magazine? If not, it is a newspaper format which is put out twice a month and is printed in Ontario. It started publishing in 1987 and I have been a subscriber since 1989. It's $38.00 per year. There are a couple of advertisers of clips usually in there. Their website is "oldautos.ca". I am in no way connected with Old Autos, just a pleased subscriber. It also has an excellent classified section, which I have found to be very useful over the years. Brendan. Quote
55 Fargo Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Posted November 9, 2006 Thanx Brendan, it is easier in some ways, if the parts are available , to get supplied and for shipping in Canada when you are living in Canada, will check out there website. Quote
Brendan D25 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Fred, if you want I can check an issue and get the addresses. Brendan. Quote

Tim Frank Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Fred, Somewhere on the P-15 website is an article (or link to an article ) about electrolytic cleaning of parts. It is not difficult and might be well-suited to cleaning these clips. Just a thought, Rgds, Tim Quote
