Looking for replacements for the tiny clips that hold the trim strip on the dash of a '40. They go through the dash and then you twist them with pliers so they hold it in place. Half of mine are broken. Does anyone know where to get replacements?

I found these, which are listed as grill trim clips for a '46, but they look identical. http://secure.oldchevytrucks.com/TR...-CENTER-STRIP-11-req/productinfo/TRC113/ Could they be the same thing?

I think the ones on my dash were flat rather than curved where they slide in, but if they fit, they fit!!! That's good to know!

So I got the clips, they don't fit into the dash strip like I'd hoped. They're a little too wide, but I can trim them a little with the bench grinder and make them work I think.
