Upholstery C-Clips ?
Team
I need your help. I am reupholstering my 66's bench seat and I need to locate a source for the C-Clips that attach the vinyl to the frame. I was able to save a couple dozen from the original seat but I cannot seem to find any store that sells these clips or the tool I assume is made to push them on. Anyone else locate these parts? I do not want to use hog rings if I can help it. Thanks in Advance!

Re: Upholstery C-Clips ?
Check with local automobile/marine upholstery shops in your area and find out where they get their supplies... prolly the best price you will find, no shipping, etc..
There are probably vendors that cater to automobile upholstery as well... For vendors for our trucks, start shaking the bushes of the Parts Sources. -W |

Re: Upholstery C-Clips ?
They're called hog rings. LMC has a kit including pliers for $5.95
http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cb/full.aspx?Page=124 I would think any parts store would have them. You can also get them at Home Depot and/or Lowes.

Yes but there is nothing saying what size these are. I was hoping to find someone who actually reupholstered their truck using these clips and knew an actual source.

Re: Upholstery C-Clips ?
I found this thread in my search for the clips and wanted to let people know that GMCPAULS.com sells them. No affiliation just found them by searching.....
