I have to replace the side spear pieces behind the gravel shields as both are in tough shape. Problem is I found far more body holes to fill than usable clips. The clips slide into the edges of the trim, are rectangular, 1 and 5/8 inches long, 7/8 inch wide, have a spring from one side that presses against the middle inside of the trim, and have a slot down the middle about 3/16 by 15/16 to allow upward and downward movement of a 3/4 inch long screw with a square head to lock it from turning while a nut is tightened inside of the fender. I have checked all of my usual parts sources for moulding clips and none offer anything like these clips. Of course, mine are rusty, and half were missing when I removed the trim.
Any one have any information as to what these clips are called, or where they can be found? (I checked the last ten years of this part of the forum and found squat.) If anyone knows where to find them, or what would be a usable substitute, I would be grateful for the information.
