Cowl Seal Clips
Does anybody have a source for the small square greenish colored clips that retain the cowl seal? The correct ones do not come with repop seals.
Website info would be great, and yes, I have checked our host and was unable to find them. Anybody?

Junkyard.
Actually, I have seen the same green clips on other GM cars of the same era, not just Firebirds/Camaros. As far as painting them, I found a Krylon Italian Olive Satin that is very very close (it is just a slight shade paler). Check Hobby Lobby or Walmart.

Thanks Pure SD, with a few Oldsmobiles thrown in there for good measure.

Don't worry Bob I'm not going to get these before you, even though I live pretty much next door. Maybe I can repop this clip..

Well....
Are these the clips you're looking for?
 If so no need to reinvent the wheel, just call Jim @ Classic Olds. Seems like they were .50 each when I got them from him last year. Jim personally has a lot of parts reproduced for the 67-72 Olds 442 W30 cars such as tail light bezels, grills, lens etc. Everything he sells is first rate. These clips are exactly the same color & size as my originals. HTH |

Craig,
I don't know if he has a website although I usually see him at the larger shows in this area. I should see him at Charlotte in a few weeks & will ask then. Probably easiest to just give him a call, either Jim or his wife should be there. |

I called him the other day, very nice guy as you said. He was down to one or two clips in stock and was going to re-order another batch. He took my name/number and said he'd call when they were done. I told him there might be several others here on PY looking for sets as well but it would be a good idea to call him to show there is more interest for him to order more sets.

Bob,
I had seen Jim at Charlotte this weekend & he did have some of the clips I have pictured. If those are the ones you need I picked up another 20 of them @ $1.00 each. He did say there was another style he was out of & waiting on, may want to make sure he's thinking of the same clip you're needing. |

Hey Bob-
Where do you get the repop seal? I have a couple of bodys that have the clips in place. Do you think you could re-use originals if I can remove them from the cowl? They would be free.... Later- |
