U Clip Speed Fasteners.

[jej]

Hi everyone.

I have taken the front grill apart and it has cleaned up really well. I want to replace the U clips that hold the vertical bars at the top and bottom as some have rusted through and I don't fancy trying to clean up the remainder. Unfortunately having viewed many websites, I can only locate U clips  that have the main bend of the u part on the outer edges of the clip with a hollo in the middle of the bend in the metal. I need to find the clips where the outer edges are clear and the u part of the clip metal is only in the middle section. Any ideas on somewhere that I can get the right clips.

Regards,

JR

Hi John

Not sure if these are the clips you mean and apologies for the poor quality photos but if they are the right ones then how many do you need, I took a grille apart some time back and kept various bits.

Cheers

Rob

Woolies Trim site can be a good source for trim clips also if you go into moss europe site and go into the bmc products ie mini,morris minor,Mga,Mgb etc the exploded parts diagrams are a good source of clips too. Hope this info helps?

I do recall these little screw tab thingies. What a pain to deal with.

I do not have any but perhaps this mob sells them?
