WANTED 1970 Dash cluster parts

[david hill]

I am currently restoring a 1970 300 dash and need 4 speedo lens retainers as pictured below. I found many screws and retainers missing from previous work done. Thanks in advance..

David, do you think that a modern plastic retainer of some appropriate size would do the trick? There is sooooo many different designs and sizes of these things available at the auto store and the fastener bins in the hardware stores, thus one of them might hold that lens in place perfectly.

These are the four little clips he's talking about...

Trace like you said maybe I can look at some other possibilities for fasteners. However it's not just four places at the plastic lens attaches it's actually a total of eight to secure it. My only thoughts were I like to keep things as close to OE as I can. Thanks for your suggestion

 

[Trace 300 Hurst]

Nobody will ever, ever see those modern fasteners. Ever.


But I'll tell people you did an incorrect shortcut!
