MK1s have a wood surround in the door windows which is held in place by a number of clips.
I have always preserved these clips in my four MK1 restorations but have been approached but others looking for replacements.
Can anyone give a part number for these clips and a possible source for supply?

 

This might give an idea of the window surround I was referring to.

Bill - I don't know if they can help, but there's a company called Bresco, here in England, that have a good stock of trim clips and other small pieces for old cars. I've not used them but know that others have for molding clips for our cars. I've had a look at their website, but it's one of those where you need to know well what you're looking for.

 

Thanks Peter. I have finally found a part number for the clip. It is BD11561.
Trying to contact Brescon.

 

After much searching in Brescoe's catalogue, I finally found "Jaguar MK1 cant rail clips" are available for just under 10 English pounds or Australian $20 for a packet of 12 clips.
A little pricey HOWEVER they then want 18 English pounds to post them to Australia which makes a total of 28 pounds or A$56 for 12 clips or A$4.66 per clip!
You would have to be keen to spend that sort of money on a clip.
These very expensive postal charges certainly don't help the British aftermarket industry.

 

You get used to it after a while.
Stuff posted to Canada is just as bad _ almost.

 

Sorry about that, Bill. If there were a Chinese supplier, the cost would be much less and the transportation would be free. And we wonder why the UK is going to ruin.

 

I paid 2000 Rand shipping for a Seekers DVD of their 2013 50th anniversary concert before Judy died last August that is only being released in Aus. So it works both ways. Horrendous in our currency when you consider the cost of the DVD. I brought in the 2014 repeat UK tour by snail mail. Also only being released in Aus by Decca.

 

I met her in the Sydney State Theatre. A more lovely person you could not hope to meet. Shed a tear at her death. Us music nuts won't change.

That was after a cerebral hemorrhage. Amazing! Very frail by then.

 

Thanks for the humanity shown. I know this is OT.
