Forgive my earlier email. I was discussing the upper strip and not the
lower that had been asked about.

The lower finisher had large round pop rivites aka the side strip pop
rivets.
I still have som NOS ones. A poor way to hold the strip. I used some
GM molding clips I found in the parts store. The have two strings on
either
end of a trapezoid plate. I clipped off the springs and found it to
slide
inside the finisher. The plate already had a threaded stud. I found
some
nylon nuts that fit (no tust). When installing I found the paint had
made the
monting holes to small. A simple drill fixed that.
Remember when repainting,
the area behind the strip is black not body
color. In fact the whole area
behind the grill aurraond is black. A mistake
most painters fix. Rumor is
this area was not spray painted but hand
brush painted. Marketing wanted the
chrome cross bars to appear
to be floating in a black area. The same
marketers had the rockers of
the MK II painted black under the chrome stide
strips under the stripes
Marketing felt the effect would make the MK IIs to
look lower.

about 5 is
enough. a flat plate with threaded rod coming out the
middle. you can file
the sides of thre plate so it become just wide
enough to slide into the
stainless strip. then put bolts and washers
underneath.
