1936 spare cover trim clips
A while back there was a discussion about where to find 36 spare cover stainless trim clips. I can't seem to dredge it up.
Anyone know where I can find some or something that will work? |

Re: 1936 spare cover trim clips
How many clips per ring?
Very popular post. I have 4 responses already and my ring/clips weren't even for sale! I have 15 clips in Rust 911. I should know by tomorrow how many are good. Seems to me the motivated restorer could make some by welding a small bolt to a strip of sheet metal the correct width. I see Macs lists the ring and clips as discontinued. Lucky I got mine when I did!

Re: 1936 spare cover trim clips
Takes 9.Couldn't find any so I made mine from tiny rivet nuts that Drake sells.Southside Obsolete in MN might have some originals.
Here is a pic of what I did and it worked for me.I ground down the head. Drake part number 1160-R. Last edited by deuce lover; 05-19-2019 at 11:09 AM. |

Re: 1936 spare cover trim clips
I live on ebay, only see the rings on old spare tire covers, I actually have a beat up one I could use but still need some clips, was considering silicone or gorilla glue as a last resort since mine isn't pristine

Re: 1936 spare cover trim clips
Thanks to "deuce lover" for the substitute clips info/pics from Drake which I ordered, not complaining but saying Bob Drake, $20 freight IS a lil excessive for 4 packs of small hardware which can fit into a padded envelope but I'm hoping they work.
FORD Barn rocks for info and help!

Re: 1936 spare cover trim clips
Update;
I was able to remove the donor spare tire cover trim and salvage 6 original 80+ yr old clips! Installed it on my tire cover and they held w/the 6 I have. Until I can find a better replacement trim molding in better condition this one will work.

Re: 1936 spare cover trim clips
I may have a ring that I can sell. I will have to measure the width as it is still wrapped in protective paper when I had it repaired and polished. I have not looked at them lately as I had some '34's and '36's done years ago. Email me at [email protected] if you are interested.
