1950 Trim Clips
I am having trouble finding the clips that hold the hood opening trim (horseshoes)on the front of my hood. I have five sets of trim and only got two clips that weren't broken.
Thanks,

I used modern threaded clips that have a "S" head for all of my hood trim. They work better because they don't chip the paint as you install your parts like the spring type and you can tighten down so there isn't any movement that can wreck the paint around your trim. I also used thin padding cut to the width of the part at each mounting point.
