After a nearly 3 yr search, I finally located a set of front fender splash / bottom chrome strip to finish the resto on my 51 Merc Convertible. It has a template to line up the pieces and drill the holes but zero instructions of how the mounting clips attach to the body. We can't tell which end of the clip goes up in the chrome strip strip along the bottom or if it bends in or out away from the body. I have no experience ...can any one help me on this ? Thanks Tracker

Sorry, Tracker, I cannot help you with this. Have you tried to contact the Club's 49-51 Mercury Advisor, Ron Westwood? Tom

Tracker, can you post a picture of the mounting clip? It might help with how it should mount.

Tracker- As I recall, the clip installs so that the rocker moulding hooks at the top of the clip and snaps on at the bottom. If you'll email me at ron@mrmerc.com, I'll send you a scan of the original install sheet I got from the Henry Ford archives. I won't be able to send it right away, as I won't have access for awhile. Hope this helps.

Thanks to every one who responded to this request for help. My computer crashed and I am just coming back on line. I will respond direct to Mrmerc who offered a drawing. That should solve the problem of the clips. Again Thanks. regards Tracker

Ron Thanks again. We got the entire file and found out how the clips work with the trim. After experimenting around, we found a better way to attach the rocker panel using the same clips which are strange to say the least since they have only one mounting hole and s tounge that calls for bending into place. Have a great stay in Idaho....Driggs, ID ...Bobs Buffalo Burgers ...worth the trip.
