I'm looking for a source or supplier of GM plastic bodyside molding "bathtub" clips as shown on the right in the attached photos. 

I'm sourcing them for a 1968 Impala project but I believe they fit several Pontiacs including some 1962 full sized models and 68-70 cars with the narrow vinyl on stainless body moldings. 

The clips are 1 inch long by 5/8th inch wide facing outward; and the tub is 1/2 by 1/4 inches. They press into an oblong hole in the body.

I have not been able to find them in the major restoration suppliers' inventories.

I'm hoping someone can point me to a specialty supplier that may have some of the clips I need.  

Any and all tips appreciated.

These are on the 62 on the top of the rear quarters. The ones on the car are rotten but I could measure them tomorow to see if they are what you need to look for. Can you measure the hole in the car?

Yes I remember using those on my 62 Pontiac. I think that's why I have a handful of them here but I need 24 in total.

The size of the hole is 1/2 by 1/4 inch.

Thanks  

Will do. Thanks for the tip. 

The stainless trim measures 11/16 on the outside, the hole is 1/2 by 1/4, the outside of the plastic trim measures 15/16 by 3/8.

I have some used ones taken off parts cars over the years .  Mostly  from 69 Impala's  , but some 68's ....  I see no difference between the 2 years 

Thanks all for your help.

Don, those measurements you provided are close enough that these would work for me if I can find them at Ames or elsewhere as seventy 2plus2 suggested. 

(By the way, I don't know if you heard that Steve Ames, the founder of Ames Pontiac Parts, passed away on Dec 20.)

Howmac,  if I can't get new ones I'd be interested in any good used ones you can spare. 

Acadiasrus, appreciate it if you can find that link. 

I have the catalogue here somewhere. I'll look it up and call them as soon as business resumes. 

Thanks again for all the help from folks here. 

Here's a screenshot from the Ames site:

I remember Donny up in Edmonton was looking for some, and I sent him the info.  He said they were discontinued, so he might have been looking for the larger one.

Thanks for the Auveco catalog link. Did not see anything in the first run through but I'll go through it again. Certainly has a huge inventory. 

I sent you 2 private messages. I have a few bathtub clips that may work for you. John

Hi. I just saw them and replied. thanks 

Here are some pics with the dimensions penciled in. The bathtub part seems to be bulged at the bottom, which is probably closer to 3/8 inch where it squeezes to enter the oblong hole. Also the width dimension in photo 2 is to the side of the plastic bubble, not to the gasket as the diagram shows. I can use any clips with these dimensions, or close to them. 

Thanks
