Thought this has been discussed here but just can't seem to find the old thread.
In any case I know we've discussed it on other boards over the years.
In 69 San Jose used a different retaining clip than the other two plants to hold a wide rubber seal to the radiator support on specific models and with certain options. It was a small sheet metal sort of thing with sharp barbs to hold it in place.
They have a small dimple on one side in the middle of the strap. Sorry its hard to see in this close-up
Scott Halseth from NPD, today informed me that they have purchased a very small quantity of reproduction clips from a maker. Once these are gone they are not planning on making any so heads up. Here is his message
They will be sold in a bag of 5 clips for $19.50. Quantities are limited and they will not be re-made. I have 38 kits available.Purpose here is not to sell parts for Scott but to let forum members have a head start if they need these pieces. They have often been difficult to find when you need them or you often come up short of all you need for a project.
Hope this announcement helps some of the owners here
