All the suppliers are going to sell you is a few feet of chrome body side molding...go to your local AutoZone/NAPA, or body supply shop and buy a roll

There was a guy at the Indy swapmeet a few years ago with the RIGHT stuff. I think I paid $20. for the pair. I'll check to see if his info is in the package.

As I stated earlier, the vendors are just supplying plastic chrome body side molding from ProtektoTrim, it's their FLEXCHROME line, available from 1/8" wide up to 1/2", along with assorted metric MM widths as well, along with assorted dome profiles, available in 50-150' rolls, when I restored headrests for customers this is what I used, for what you pay for 2 precut vendor lengths, you can buy a 50' roll

There was/is a vendor that was selling the correct stuff. By that I mean originally it wasn't a dome it was flatter.

The Potektotrim FLEXCHROME line is flat, the standard line is domed should anyone decide to purchase...both profile charts are posted below for comparison
