    Beltline trim clips?

    They are the clips that go on doors and rear quarters and back of front fenders for the thin trim that divides the black and body color on most mach 1s without side stripes as shown in my pictures. they are approx 7/8" long and approx 3/8" wide at body where they clip into the bright aluminum trim.

    Thanks, it's been a couple of years of on and off work and it's finally starting to look like a car and not just a bunch of parts.

    Beltline trim clips?

    Hello, I have been searching for the difficult to find belt line chrome trim clips and have found only inconclusive information. I see NPD offers some clips but states does not work on original trim, an ebay company called midwest restorations has some similar looking ones at very high prices...

    Thanks for showing me that. That seems too simple. I guess I'm all set. It just seemed to me that at least both sides would be black.

    Need help with the infamous tilt column rag joint please...

    On thinking about this for a moment I think you would lose your safety interlock if you don't use both factory castings, Look at the inside middle and you should see where the castings lock together if your rubber donut fails. you would need to retain the long pins for safety if you did not...

    Need help with the infamous tilt column rag joint please...

    I did not view the pokey wires to be a real issue...just an illustration that it was reinforced with a lot of wire...I got out my hobby nippers and trimmed them off. I was happy with the lares joint, curious what npd sells but happy with my outcome.

    Need help with the infamous tilt column rag joint please...

    the current lares 201 has lots of wire reinforcement, the sharp wire ends are constantly poking your fingers as you assemble it. I guess the bottom line question/answer of this thread to me is that the rubber insert for the tilt column is the same size as rubber insert in the non tilt columns.

    Need help with the infamous tilt column rag joint please...

    To reply to the comment about no back up if the rubber fails: you have to look close but inside of my early 71 there is 2 tangs cast into the pieces that lock together if the rubber joint was to fail. Mine did not have the lock pins originally, just 4 steel rivets.

    Need help with the infamous tilt column rag joint please...

    So first I assembled the joint with the Dorman 3100 rag (3105 is also same size) and I noted that d/t the hole being half a hole off you could only use a plain (non shouldered bolt) 5/16" bolt in holes and that was literally stretching the rubber to make it fit. It would work but not really...

    Need help with the infamous tilt column rag joint please...

    As title states I am in the middle of rebuilding my rag joint and my first attempt at getting a dorman rubber piece did not pan out. This donut is very close but not close enough. The bolt circle is just a bit too small. I haven't searched the local parts stores yet but I wanted to know if...
