Title: Source of Studs for door card? Post by: peteracs on October 07, 2012, 11:23:36 PM Hi All
Anyone have a suggestion for replacement studs to hold on the door card? Not sure if the F/L cars have different ones, but looking for pre F/L. Peter Title: Re: Source of Studs for door card? Post by: peteracs on October 07, 2012, 11:31:13 PM Ah, should have looked a bit more as found post by Gerhard with discussion on these. Any alternative available in UK as ones in Portugal are a little expensive at over £1 each and I need two door cards worth....

Hope this helps, Tim Title: Re: Source of Studs for door card? Post by: peteracs on October 08, 2012, 03:50:43 PM Hi Tim
Thanks, will look them up. Peter Title: Re: Source of Studs for door card? Post by: lukasdeopalenica on October 09, 2012, 06:16:41 PM They are probably the same as used in fiats i.e. cinquecento, seicento etc. If so, there are alternative replacements in Poland for about 10p/piece.
Title: Re: Source of Studs for door card? Post by: TonyLanciaBeta on October 09, 2012, 11:07:40 PM a couple of years ago I bought the same clips (FIAT 14191280)
I remember having to remove the plastic inserts in the door to fit mine, as the diameter of the new clip was wider Title: Re: Source of Studs for door card? Post by: Gerhard on October 15, 2012, 11:48:12 AM Feedback on it. The locally sourced studs, lasted about a week. Problem is that when they gave up they also damaged the new card. So in hindsight, go for as close to the original as possible.
Title: Re: Source of Studs for door card? Post by: peteracs on December 12, 2012, 09:40:28 AM Just following up on this one.
I sourced the following clips which are pretty close to the originals and fit snugly into the holes in the doors. The head size is just a tad larger, but ok. The head to base height where the doorcard fits is pretty much the same. 10 off for £2.99, worth having a play with at least. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290648075250&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290648075250&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160) Seller is 227sparts I will update when I get around to fitting the door card and see if I have the same issue as Gerhard.
