Title: '51 Frazer hardtop rear window body moulding
Post by: Doc on December 23, 2010, 11:54:54 AM

Unable to find the moulding bolts listed in the '51 Frazer parts list for the rear body moulding below the rear window moulding. There are 20 molding bolts total, 10 for each side trim. The moulding bolts that we were able to remove w/o breaking take a 10/32" nut, at least on this one hardtop, but on the other hardtop I cannot find any size nut to fit and they are physically different. Looking in Restoration Specialties online catalog pages 124-125 http://www.restorationspecialties.com/2009%20Catalog%20ebook/2009%20Catalog%20ebook.pdf  but don't readily see a matchup although #2788, or #3317 "appear" they could work, although they take 10-24 nuts which is no problem. My concern is fitting inside the moulding. Anyone know the correct size that will work or another source?

Doc, what is the KF part number from the parts list?  Doubt that I have it but I will look.  Mike

The 51 parts book doesn't cover the hardtops and I coudn't find an entry for the convertible. This afternoon I was able to salvage most of the moulding bolts by Dremel tool cutting the tips off and then using a ratchet to get 10-24" nuts started. I can modify some other clips I have to use on the ends.  Thanks, Mike. Think I'll be ok now.
