    Dellis Hudson listed in the classified section of the WTN made me a complete set for the large triangle pieces on the convertible. Quality and Price can't be beat, and they are made out of galvanized to boot.

    On the con side, if you want originality, Dellis only makes 12" long sections, unlike the originals, which ran the full length of the piece.

    I'm happy with the pieces I got from him, which was not only the retainers for the large triangle, but also the beltline, and the bottom of fenders, doors and quarters.

    Thanks, Russell ... I'll contact Dellis. Our new forum member in Switzerland needs them for that nice Hornet coupe he acquired.

    I would use a universal "T" molding with 11/32 bolt . Cut the "T" to proper width and bolt into the back of the rocker. Better fit with out distorting the stainless upon installation
