Glove box name plate tubular clips

[leon]

 :) G Day' I'm after 3 tubular type clips for the glove box name plate the holden special badge.
Not the badge just the clips. ;)
If any one can help me track down these little clips that would be appreciated as I lost mine some where along the way.
Regards. Leon ;)

Leon, these are VERY hard to get out of the glovebox lid without breaking the little tags off.  They are actually rectangular in shape and clip into the lid.  Only problem is you can't get behind them to squeeze them together to get them out.
What I do is get an old g/b lid and cut a small square around each clip with a cut-off wheel and then cut towards the clip with tin snips and then bend back and forth until the metal breaks thus freeing the clip.
Sacrifice - 1 glove box lid
Gain - 3 glovebox badge clips.

Leon,

The guys at the NOS warehouse had bags of these, too bad most people only looked at the big stuff and didn't go through the crates of clips............

Alternately why don't you Sikaflex it on? You won't be able to tell the difference, and it will removable if required.

Cheers,

Craig.

      You could try  www.rageem.com  then do a search on sales then clips .They are on the Princes H'way Rockdale N.S.W.   Or maybe a motor trimmers.
     Would the bonnet letter clips work??

No - bonnet letter clips are different and I don't think that there is another badge on the FE or FC that uses this exact same clip.   But used glovebox lids are pretty easy to get and shouldn't cost an arm and a leg.
