Re: clips for the belt line on our 1940

Good news on the 1940 Packard belt line molding clips. You can get the correct Auveco 1231 clips from Restoration Specialties in Windber PA (on-line as well). Apparently they have some old stock since Auveco does not list these in their current catalog.
The clips are the exact clips used on my original unrestored 1940 160. I had the same problems that others have had with the other clips mentioned above. The other clips are too loose in the hole, they are too thick to slip onto the belt line molding, they are too wide and need to be modified. You can find them on-line from Restoration Specialties for $1.10 each but the on-line postage is quoted as over $20! Just call them at 814-467-9842 and you will only be charged their postage minimum of $12.50 so be sure to order some other things!
