I don't have an original one to photo, but I would think someone here will. Otherwise it's going to take some measuring/mock-up. Bummer they don't punch those out of the backing, since EVERY car used them...

Was just wondering if there was a diagram somewhere. Legendary should provide for the price of these things....

You may not want to use those clips. They will imprint on the vinyl on the other side. DAMHIK. The factory used a stamped flat steel one like the picture I attached. Not sure if AMK or or someone has them. 68 Road Runner (383/4speed, post car w/decor pkg) - Major Project 69 Road Runner w/472 Hemi & 4 speed. 70 Challenger R/T SE EF8 w/ V9J, U - A32 - Major Project 2023 Ford Mach 1

Original material was tougher and thicker on both door panels and seat upholstery and didn't show as much. I just ordered some NOS seat material dated 1968 and was shocked at how thick it is compared to Legendary stuff.
