Hi,
There used to retain the side markers on a E body, also same used on Gills on a 71 Cuda as well

Does anyone know where I can get these from ?
What is the correct name for these ?
Does anyone have any spare ?
Looking for quite a few, well 15 - 20

Cheers, Mark...

I ordered some now mate, from RT Specilalities. Really nice guy, answered my e mail within minutes. Paid over the phone by credit card, should be here any day now.

No panic though, been stripping the gills as I had a mad fit a few years & painted them black. There all stripped now, mate of mine is gonna rechrome them for me as well. Should have them back the end of the week, as he had some other stuff that needed plating.

Just to let you know I got my Acorn Nuts from RT Specialties
http://rtspecialties.net/. Not really much to get excited about I know but was really pleased with their service. Ordered on Fri 29th Dec, received today (8th Jan) 10 days is quite good considering time of year, New Year Festivities, etc.

Total price, inc postage was $40, which was for 25 Acorn Nuts & 25 Rubber Washers. Not cheap, then again not readily available over here

Anyway, if you need anything similar, maybe give em a look.
