I respect that hesitation. I thought about using original clips but the heads seemed too small for the stretchy cover I have. My firewall is half 1950 Chevy truck and half wheelbarrow so drilling it wasn’t sac religious.

Half wheelbarrow. That's funny. Was it a Jackson or a Tru-Temper?!

For those interested:

Repops = http://www.repops.com/ (they do not sell retail directly)

Part Number CT327 = http://www.repops.com/product-search.cfm?kw=ct327

A retail seller (not mine): https://collectorsautosupply.com/search/search-results/?search_query=ct327

There are probably others, this is just the first that I came across in my web search.
