When I got these covers I was determined to make them work. Only problem was, I didn't have enough of the mounting clips and SASCO didn't have them any more. Jon Myer told me to check T-Bird vendors. I did and I found a repro clip that looked like it might work. I ordered some and, while they are narrower and slightly shorter than the Stude clips, they do work as illustrated in this series of pix. They are more prone to coming off the rim when you are trying to mount the cover and won't let you pull the cover out as much as the Stude clips (you have to pull out the cover to get to the valve stem). But, they are better than not having any. I wouldn't mix the two different clips though. The Ford catalog says six per wheel where you only need four (I think) with the Stude clips. |
