Upper chrome clips

Hi all,

I am just in the middle of my final assembly. When I drilled the holes for the upper chrome I drilled them for the old style chrome clips that used a much smaller hole than the clips on the market today. The intent was to use the actual clips because I didn't want to use the plastic ones with the adhesive on them. I just ordered a bag full of clips and the ones available now use a larger hole. Can anyone suggest a vendor who can possibly supply the metal clips that use a arrow type pin verses the two post style that is available on the market now?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I would not want to have to drill the holes out at this stage as the truck has been re painted.

Thanks.

Re: Upper chrome clips

I just drilled the holes bigger. Truck had fresh paint too. If you go this route use a step bit as they do not walk/twist and your paint won't get damaged.
