Looking to find a pair of the top boot moldings. Need the attaching hardware also. I tried most of the well known dealers w/o success. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hardware is available in reproduction . Original hockey sticks rechromed fit better then the repro.

I think originals are stainless and I may need trim restoration service. I saw some on Ebay a while back but the seller sold out. Is there only one source?

" Re: 1968 convertible rear moldings / hockey sticks source" . Original "hockey sticks" are chromed pot metal. The rest of the rear molding is stainless.

68 are stainless, 2 pieces.

Yes,mine are stainless,but not in very good condition. Has anybody seen,in person,the repo pieces? Anybody got an excellent pair?

CharlesTurner

Normally stainless can be repaired, unless there are gouges or bad dents.

I'd suggest restoring an original set over repro.
