Re: A Tale of Two Patricians

Back home now but some questions remain.

My parts car has had four 1951 Patrician chrome scoops installed, apparently professionally, to each of the rear fenders that I would like to remove without breaking any of the pins. They have round press-on retainers on the back side and I have a tool I made decades ago for removing the rectangular type press-on clips but these round ones have such tiny locking tabs that my tool won't work on it. Are there special tools or tricks for doing it?

Also, according the service clip that Howard so kindly attached a few posts back, it indicates that the seat actuator pins came in three different sizes but it did not elaborate. Does anyone know what the three sizes are? I understand that it was only the length that was different but I want to be sure so that the tool I am making will work on any of them.
