[Tigers] side moulding fasteners reply John Watertor

[Ron Fraser]

Jim

                Thank you very much for the pictures; this is great.

This is the 1st time I have seen the original parts.

 

Anyone have a picture of the 2232727 metal rivet or the 7208029 thread cutting fastener to complete this set of pictures?

I’m guessing 7208029 is similar to 90304096 but it would be nice to know for sure.

Here's my 2 cents on the fasteners.  The metal rivets were part number 2232727.  They were available in the late 70's from Chrysler.  I sold plenty of them and by mistake sold the ones I was saving for myself.  If I remember correctly, Doug Jennings said he had to make a special tip for his rivet gun because the rivets were so small.  Then you had to be careful to not chip the paint or dent the metal when the rivet went pop.

 

7096040 were the plastic replacements for 2232727.  Much easier to use.  I've sold larger ones of these to replace the rivets on the valance panel for the lower grill moulding.

 

7208008 fixing stud is a plastic 'tee' piece that was used in places like the rear of the door and rear quarter. Places that were accessible from the back and needed extra holding power.

 

7208009 sealing bush is a round plastic piece with a step moulded into it that slips over the fixing stud.

 

7208029 thread cutting fastener was superseded to 9034096.  These are just sheet metal nuts that screw on to the fixing stud and makes treads as it goes.  

 

All of the parts begining with 7 were for the Imp.  Of course they held the side moulding on.
