[Healeys] Door seal retaining clip question

[Oliver Viitamaki]

     To complete this discovery work, with help from the list, and some 
personal emails, the clip that Roger Moment used in the article is Moss 
part number 249-795. There are likely other suppliers.

     The clip, Moss part number 803-410 suggested by Michael Salter, is 
used to hold the furry inside door window seal, and is a little 
different in shape, than that used in Roger's article. It may work 
equally well.

     At this time both clips are available at Moss Motors.
