I am looking for a picture of an original clip that was used to attach the rocker panel spear molding to a 68 Barracuda. I am assuming these are no longer available or reproduced. If so, what is being used in place of the original type clips?

Is the 69 Dart trim a thin spear, about 3/4 of an inch tall? I too, bought the plastic repro clips and do not think they will work. Also, can you post a picture of the metal spring clip??

Thank you,

Russ

the dart ones are about 3/4 wide,ill have to look for a clip to take a picture off,those cheap plastic repos are long enough to snap into the rocker.

I just went in the garage and measured for you. I have the original spears on my 68 Cuda and have a set of primo used spears I got at last Fall Fling that I have started sanding and polishing allready.

The O.D. measure:

Dart Rocker Spear: 0.74"

68 Barracuda Rocker Spear: 0.82"

Autoxcuda,

Thank you for the measurement. It would be much appreciated if you would measure the inside channel where the clips sit. (I don't presently have access to mine, they were sent out for re-finishing.

Thank you,

Russ
