Patrician (400 etc) sill trim clips... help!

Hi,
I'm really struggling to locate some of the sill trim clips for the long trim (mouldings?) that run along the sills (rockers?) between the wheel arches.
They're the 1 1/2" wire push in variety. Being in NZ we're a bit limited in where to get these things and I've been trying to do a bit of cross-referencing with Chevy's, fords that kind of thing, but whereas 1" seems to be commonplace, 1 1/2" seem not to.
I could mention that the ebay is my usual source (accessibility) and places like napa or the like don't ship overseas.

I'm not necessarily after new ones, just good solid usable ones, I have one usable at the moment (out of 18 needed!!!), does anyone here have a few usable ones or can give me some hinters or interchanges?

If anyone has spares and wants to move them on I'd be very happy :)

I normally use paypal, but could look at alternatives if need be, and there is the possibility of a US shipping address in Oregon rather than New Zealand, although I'd prefer to get them shipped directly to me.
I could rather awkwardly add I'm not in a huuuge hurry to fork out $10 each or thereabouts (did I say the wrong thing?)

Any responses greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Muir

I found some clips that worked on my car by turning them 90 degrees.


What I mean by that is that I couldn't find clips with the correct "height", but did find clips with a "width" that fit the required "height" when turned 90 degrees. Just an option for you. If you look at my project blog, I think I reference the vendor I bought them from.

Thanks BigKev - found the reference (page 169 of your blog!) clips and mouldings... now I'm just ploughing through their website... with the amount of stuff they have their shop must be the size of Texas....

Cheers

We have the various clips available that you looking for NOS, used, and reproduction if you have issues finding them. I had to replace about a half dozen on my 400.
