Trim clips

[ggcton]

Can anyone tell me what clips are used to fit the 70s style front grill and does anyone have any spare?
Gary
Are they the spring clip type or nut and bolt?

I would like to second that request

Here are some pics of the clips for the middle section of the grille which use the same holes as the GTL.

The are two tabs at each edge of the grille that pass through slots in the bonnet. Fixings for those are large curved spring clips with a slit for the tab. I've misplaced mine momentarily. Many GTL owners just bend the tabs over.

Sorry - I have no spares of either. For the ones in the photo a thick square piece of aluminium with a hole tapped in it and glued to the grille might work as a replacement.

Thanks Malcolm I have never seen that type before I wonder if the earlier 4Cv type spring clips will work.I have some somewhere I will have a look as the 4cv ones are readily available.

What Malcolm describes has worked admirably well on my grey '71. Screws to be used are M6 size.

Malcolm could you measure the size of these clips for me please I am in Spain at present and have seen some clips advetised that may do the job.
Met up with Cuarto L he has a very nice Spanish R4L used as a daily driver underneath looks like new.Thanks Gary

I'm going to make up a set for the grill I picked up from Malcolms BBQ, (when I get the time) I was just going to make mine out of mild steel with bolts welded to them then painted up.

I intend to do the same but saw these and wondered if they would do the job.
