I am looking for the four smal metal clips that hold the rubber air deflector on. It's the rubber piece that covers the gap between the shroud and the radiator. Anyone have these clips in decent shape for sale?

Do you mean the air deflector for an ac car?

The clips hold a small rubber piece that closes the gap between the radiator and the radiator support. It was used on a/c and non a/c cars to direct air thru the radiator instead of over it. They call it the "radiator air deflector" on the 429 Megasite.

I have the rubber strip but need the four steel clips to hold it on. I have noticed very few Mustangs still have this piece.

Do you have the clips for sale? I am still looking for them with no luck.

 
Another of the Ford irregular parts. My 73 Mach 1 does not have one and has air and pretty much every option. Bought new so I know it was not there. My 73 vert did have one. I have the clips somewhere from a 72 vert parts car will see if I can locate. Might be buried too deep to find no promises.

Mike,

I found the clips still on the rubber piece. I want to keep the rubber since it is near perfect. The clips do have rust on them, see pictures. If interested PM me with an offer.

Thanks David,

I think I will take 3514boltstang up on his offer. I looked at the new ones from NPD but they appear not to be shaped correct for a 71-72. The 71-72 clips are sort of t-shaped. Probably not a big deal and would not be seen but...I would know! I just like NOS parts better.
