[Tigers] side moulding fasteners reply John Watertor

John

                Thank you for your information.   I don’t think I have ever seen any of the original parts and I’m curious about them.

I bought parts from Sunbeam Specialties to install my side mouldings.   I made a few threaded fasteners to give a more positive clamp force. 

 

So far the indications are that the parts are from the Imp line due to the starting # of 7 of the part numbers.

 

I’m also thinking the 7208029 thread cutting fastener was an optional fastener.

The number of fasteners did not add up – 46 are needed but the parts list indicated 52 – that is why I think the thread cutter was optional.

 

I’m still hoping to see picture of the original parts.

In regards to the Tiger side moulding fasteners 

 

The 7096040 clip (40 required ) These were metal rivets with the head sticking out of the body which was round to snap into the chrome side moulding. I needed some many years ago and purchased a plastic package

of them from Rootes with 9 in the package. I used 3 of them and still have 6 left some where in the house, that I haven't seen in years. Some one had 5 or 6 for sale on E-bay several years ago, but I did not want

 to pay $5 or $6 each for them. When I had my Tiger painted I had the body man grind them off because the problem of sanding off the old paint and repainting the car. I replaced them with the plastic fasteners

from the after market parts dealers and are still on the car.

 

The 7208008 fixing stud (6) my guess is the 1/8" square head threaded stud to clamp the chrome side molding to the body. There was one at the front of the front moulding, one on the door, I don't remember  where 

it was located and one on the back of the back moulding. I twisted mine off while removing them and had to make the replacements by cutting a 1/8" square brass plate from sheet brass, drilling a hole thru, going 

to the local hobby shop and buying the small bolts and then soldering  the head of the bolt to the 1/8" brass plate.

 

My guess the 7208009 (6) sealing bush is a rubber washer to seal the above fixing stud on assembly.

 

Don't remember using any 7208029 (6)  thread cutting fasteners.
