"64 Tempest Trim Clips
I have a '64 Tempest Custom. As some of you know, it has a lot of trim. I will be needing to find some trim clips of various shapes and sizes. I am attaching a couple of photos with a top and side view and a yard stick for scale. I did not remove the trim. I elected to have the body shop do it. Somewhere between the first shop and the one I'm at now, it seems I've come up short on some clips. If anyone can identify the clips and a source for them I will be very grateful.
Thanks in advance, Tony Last edited by tempest1964; 01-13-2018 at 05:22 PM. |

As an update, after searching our host and not getting any replies on this thread, I searched google and e-bay and was able to find 3 out of the 4. The 3 with the spring tension arms are on e-bay. The 4th piece I have not yet found. Guess I should have done a search before asking here.

If you're willing to use clips with 10-24 threads, the NAPA clips will work for the Tempest application. The part number is Balkamp #665-1141, which means you can probably get them from other sources besides NAPA.
The originals look more like the one in the bottom right side of your second picture--plain stud with no threads.

Thanks Dick. Since this isn’t a numbers matching GTO, only a 6 banger that will be receiving a healthy dose of 421, the thread count doesn’t bother me too much. Appreciate your help.

Just an update. Found all the clips on eBay. If anyone needs info on these, let me know.

I was able to source clips for the upper fender / door / quarter moldings. I am unsure what clips to use for the trunk / tail panel surround molding.

The ones in the picture in the first post are the ones that I purchased. If you need information on those, let me know. I'm not sure if your talking about the same clips or a different type of clip.
