Capri Sill Trim CLips?

I have had 2 calls in a week looking for clips for the metal full length sill trim on the Mk1 capri.  Has anyone replaced these?  What did you use and where did you get them?

    Have you tried these clips (?) as they are different to the sill trim clips on the Australian Mk1s.

    I haven't used them, but they look the same as the ones fitted to my mk1.

    You may need to ask them for some dimensions to confirm they will fit.

    Do u have any of your old clips to compare?

    These are the original clips of my '72 MK1.  Thought they were the same as the early Falcon but the width is different...

     
    UK sill trim clip - hence my confusion.

    I used the uk ones as above, also metal ones for the front where the trim goes up to the front wheel arch. There is room behind to attach the nut, this will make the trim much more secure.
    Look on the capri tickover site to view the parts.

    I got my from the rubber man(Doug) locally at Brendale.
    Theyre white I think theyre xt falcon. He also has the slide in one with the nut.

    The only thing that beats HORSEPOWER is TORQUE.

    Have ticked all boxes and have ordered the Tickover clips and the XT onwards clips (9mm). Fingers crossed.
