Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

I've searched and searched including Max Merritt and Kanter. Does anyone have a source for the inserts I'm talking about ? I took some pics to help.

Thanks,
HotRod

Other places you might look are MrG's.http://www.mrgusa.com/index.html and the Clip Househttp://cliphouse.com/TubeNut.aspx

Believe you will have to measure your stud width and depth to try & match something. If you find them please advise the number and place. IIRC, another poster was looking for some and think he determined Packard used an oddball size in a dimension. While stud size was fairly standard, the Packard clips in his case were wider and had a larger hole drilled in the body than modern clips need. Don't remember hearing if he gave up finding something that matched or just found something that worked but needed different holes.

Thanks HH56 I'll check it out......
