There is a small 1/4" gap with a screw hole so I'm assuming I'm missing two pieces of trim. Any idea if that's a fact and where I might be able to find those pieces? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,707 back yard wrench turner | | back yard wrench turner Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,707 | Yes there should be a small piece of trim to span the gap.
I don't know if anyone sells these.
The piece is easy to make with a pair of tin snips. Then shape it with a vice and pliers to match the other parts.

I seem to remember seeing them for sale in one of the catalogs - Chev's of the 40's, Filling Station, Jin Carter.
