Trim Clips query

[glennr]

I notice on e bay a supplier of Rover parts says "There are approx 20 clips required per side of vehicle."This is wrong isn't it? If it takes 12 for the sill trim that does not add up. Even though he states they are body moulding clips, the sill trim is part of the body moulding family.Therefore the amount of body moulding clips required is actually 32 clips for each side?I just thought I would mention it if anyboby was going to buy them. I rest my case m'lud.

Some restorers cut down on the number of clips to save money (theirs of course not the customers)

If you take eight for the front wing, six for each of the doors and the rear wing and add twelve for the sill strip the total comes to thirty eight.
On the 3 litre according to the w/shop manual there are twenty three clips per side.

I would always order more then I need anyway, just in case.

I rest my case for the Defence ;D ;D

The three litre has no sill strips though and the side strips are rather weedy!

Weedy though they might be, they still need twenty three clips to attach them and yes I'm aware there are no sill strips.
