I am installing a new OER padded vinal dash on my bird and would like to add the chrome trim. However, my bird apparently never had the chrome trim, so I would need the special screws that attach the bottom of the pad to the metal frame dash. I suspect there are also some kind of retainer clips that hold the chrome trim. Classic sells the trim, but where can I get the screws and retainer clips for the trim? Does anyone know?
The trim has spikes that poke through the dash and are bent over the back to secure. The center splice trim snaps over the sides. I do not believe there are any seperate screws other than what I describe above.
As you said, not all '68's came with this trim.
I also don't think the trim fits OER dashes either. (from what I have read). You may be better off without it.

Thanks for the reply. I can't imagine how I can make this OER dash pad look good along the bottom edge without the chrome trim. There must be others out there with the same issue. The reason that I don't think it will look good is because these OER dash pads do not have a nice finished edge along the bottom. For what they cost you would think they would have a higher quality finish.
Many members that went the OER route ended up ripping it out for a refinished original. I can't believe they still sell that crap.
