Aldridge Door Cards

I have purchased and several others door cards through Aldridge trimming in the UK. They are very well made and I love them.
In rod we trust brought up the issue that the rear clips our cars use don’t fit.
Aldridge use a round hole looking like they need a front door clip not the rear card clip that is an arrowhead metal spring.
My question is how have people solved this.
I would not want to drill the support to fit a clip it’s not designed for.
Also does anyone know where to buy the original clips, UK sell something similar but only the outside clip not the mount that locates in the rear card at 4 points.
I will try to attach pic forgive me if it doesn’t work. Oh it worked I can post pics again so happy.

    by memory i tried hard to find some that would fit i ended up buying some of ebay not sure what car they are from but looked like the ones i needed... they were round back that fitted on the door cards and the clip fitted into the rectangle slot ..  they were advertised as old door card clips but didnt mention what car they were from im think some early ford think ,,,, ill have a look keith and see if i have a couple left and post the pics of them ..

    keith they were similar to these ones except for the locking tab was in the cebtre of it and not to one side ...    still cant find any ones i had might have used them all up wasnt many i got in the deal and as mentioned didnt have any description in the add of what car it was from .... these may work not sure .. but i was almost at wits end  looking for some and was going to drill the same size holes as front ones in metal to fit the rear trims

    there are these ones advertised for capri but i dont think they will work ... only other thing is to look thru old rear trims to find the clips or ring brian small ford might have some old trims with clips on them .. the originals might not work either as the uk trims are round holes ... somebody needs to tell alderidge that they are different and either make some clips to suit the small rectangle capri slots

    Thanks I’ve got old clips but they don’t suit the Aldridge rear trims. As I see it all Capris are the same so their rear cards don’t fit our Capri. Or they do if we find the correct item.
