You might want to do a search here on the 48-52 forum for Bob's F100. They have a terrible reputation...

I just ordered a box of these. They may not look like the originals but they are 1/2" diameter and no one will ever see them. If you'd like to buy a ship set PM me.

OK so it looks like I have all the clips for the dash and windshield chrome trim. I'm missing some from the door panel chrome pieces though. Some of those broke when I removed them. Any source for them?

Not an expert on the door clips. But those don't look right to me. I heard Dennis Carpenter has the door clips. Have to email or call as they are not advertised.
