Sy isn't one to gouge her customers, if she is charging $7.00 for these clips then you know that she is paying a handsome price for them as well. I am sure that she is looking for a better source too!

You can more than likely order them from 'The Old Car Centre'. I'll paste the url here for you. I don't know were you are located but I'm sure these guys can help you with a lot of stuff. Good luck with your build.
