Bresco will have them, and send out samples. Could it be 17750P? I have ordered that from them before.

thanks

Default 409 Moulding Clips

Thanks Giles,

I checked Bresco 17750P and, indeed, they do look like the proper clips. Looks like the common garden variety pop rivet is used to fix them to the sheet metal.
I'll order a packet.

For installation it looks like the moulding is first 'hooked' under two clip tangs, then rolled and pressed onto the other two tangs. Is that correct?

Thanks again for your help.

Tom

I think so, but it was five or more years ago! Good luck with it. I think it is normal pop-rivets for the body; I used posher stainless ones for the grille.
