Wanted: 51 Kaiser door panel clips

[konrad]

Anyone know of a source or have some of the clips that hold the inner door panels to the door frame?

Konrad,

I know you are in the Madison WI area.  I would suggest you check with either Adam Harder (east of you in Hartland).

I did check the Manufacturing Fund list first before posting, didn't see them listed there, but as I recall, a bunch of parts from another vendor were sent to him a while back to be sorted through and eventually listed.  Would that be why you refer me to Adam?

Many thanks Jack!

We may have what you are looking for.  Contact us through ldladykf@yahoo.com and I will take a few pictures of what I found worked when I re-attached our 54 Kaiser door panels either Monday or Tuesday. Bob

The manufacturing fund does not deal as a rule in "used" items that come off a car.  Adam may have ones or twos of something off parts cars.  You can also check and see how Dale Hammon in Beloit WI is doing these days.  He has other parts cars that may be"donors".  As long as the items you seek are not broken or otherwise damaged, used ones can be just fine.

There are several vendors online that supply new clips for door upholstery.  I used to have list, but updated to a new laptop and did not add the names. An online search for antique auto hardware should get results. I had purchased small bags of both the wire and flat bent spring steel clips.

Many thanks for all your help in locating these, both those who replied here and who contacted me via email.

For anyone else who may come along looking for these, here is what you want:

This is the most current iteration and catalogue number for these replacement door panel clips.  Restoration Specialties has them as well, but I was able to get them at about 2/3 their cost through Denver Auto Fasteners.

See how easy that was.
