Parts wanted - window rivets & trim clips

[jeff67]

Assuming the weather ever improves, and I ever get paint on the car, there's a couple of bits I need for reassembly. One is the rivets for the opening rear windows, which are either bronze or brass, the other is the spring clips that hold the window exterior trim on the front windows.

If anyone has either of these for sale, or could point me in the direction of where I can get hold of them, it would be immensely helpful. I already bought one packet of what turned out to be the wrong clips!

As suggested, photos of the clips.




There's eight of them on each door, sadly corrosion has ruined all but about 5 of them.

As for the rivets, Andrew suggested using standard pop rivets, but I'm sure the OE ones are bronze, due to the likelihood ofcorrosion taking place due to galvanic reaction between dissimilar metals. The theory is to use a less reactive connector. The practice says I'm being unduly anal about this, particularly given the state of the rest of the car at present!

All help gratefully received.

Think I've got the rivets sorted now. I'll have to bodge something else in if the original clips don't exist any more...
