pflaming Posted April 14, 2023 Report Posted April 14, 2023 When I removed such as the Plymouth / dash trim / etc there were very small clips that held them on. Is there a source for these? On a side note, I think I am recovering but it is very slow. Major fatigue and concentration problems. Not complaining, just reporting. Quote
Eneto-55 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Posted April 14, 2023 I think I know what you are referring to - when removing some of mine, I ended up breaking the post off instead. The clips I'm thinking of are those push on deals that have little tabs that prevent them from coming back off. I think the hardware stores MIGHT have something that would work, but I'll probably use that thin double sided foam tape to stick mine back on. Will it survive the heat in a closed up car? I should do a test first, because it would make a real mess if it "ran". Quote
pflaming Posted April 14, 2023 Author Report Posted April 14, 2023 Gorilla Glue makes a two sided take for emblems. I used that and it is more than sufficient. I put it on the piece to install, then removed the protective take for final placement. The photo is the current status of my 53 Plymouth dash. Once all the switches and the gauge console are on it will pass mustard. Quote
DJ194950 Posted April 15, 2023 Report Posted April 15, 2023 I believe the killer is Col. Mustard in the library with the lead pipe! Did I guess right? Wrong Mustard you say? ? DJ Quote
pflaming Posted April 15, 2023 Author Report Posted April 15, 2023 You guessed wrong, this Mustard is the brother of Pat and Mike!!!!!! Quote
pflaming Posted April 23, 2023 Author Report Posted April 23, 2023 The dash is rewired, and installed, The glitz items are held on by two way Gorilla tape. I really holds, and not hard.to do. 1 Quote
Bob Ritter Posted July 7, 2023 Report Posted July 7, 2023 I had the same problem when I removed the two moldings from the glove box, both clips broke on my 48 Plymouth. I used the same two way tape they use to install the side moldings on the newer cars. I also used hair dryer to heat it a little. Quote
Bob Ritter Posted July 8, 2023 Report Posted July 8, 2023 I'm sure I have some of the push on clips and also the speed nuts, I believe the stud is 7/64. I have a lot that stuff from my body shop days... rritter2@ca.rr.com Quote
