Grill clips for 85-88 where to get

[gearheads78]

I need 2 of the clips that hold the #14 molding on the grill. Any ideas?

If you are talking about those white nylon that you into the metal support.....if you have one to go by you can find them at Lowes, Home Depot, and you auto parts stores where they stock the nut and bolts and speed clips........

I've never seen those white clip anywhere in the stores.

Give me a day or so, I can show you what they use as a replacement and I can also post a pic of those clips. I believe I have a stash somewhere, I can probably help you out there. The only problem with the white clips, they tend to break very easily. So the replacement studs & nuts would make a for a better option.

This is the only pic I have at this time on the iPad. But you can see the little threaded studs hanging down from the molding. And the they just tighten down to the grille, using nuts.

I have never been able to find replacement clips. I have been salvaging grilles for all the trim parts, and thats why I have a small collection. Most of the clips break, but I have gotten better at it, to were I don't. I have one extra clip, all the rest are still in the moldings that I have.
The new moldings that already come on the grilles, have the little metal studs on them.
You can get these moldings from:
