Two of them are two piece and two of them are single piece just crimped to a slice in the carpet. I usually only see the two piece type like the one I'm holding. They crimp to the carpet better...top and bottom. Last edited by EL5 71; 08/18/16 08:59 PM.

MY 70 CUDA (LA BUILT) HAD 2 OF THE BLACK ONES, ONE ON EACH SIDE. RON
