'evening all

The HJ Caprice protect trundles along. Back from sandblaster and making progress.

I have a question specific to the side protector strips running the length of the car (about half way down the doors / fenders). I need to sort this out now, as it will affect if I do any more body fabrication (filling of rivet / clip holes) etc. before I continue with body prep / painting.

When I purchased it, it had what I was told is the later HX or HZ strip fitted (not original). This is a chrome strip about 30mm wide, with a black rubber insert around 10mm wide rinning down the middle of it (slightly off centre).

I'm seeking several things:

1. What was the original strip fitted to this, including width, style and colour (the car's original colour is a dark metallic brown)

2. How was this held on? The stud-rivet/clip style (similar to that used to hold the windscreen chrome trim on), or holes / clips? My car seems to have both holes down the side, and the stud-rivets, but I suspect this is a result of the retrofitting of the non-original strip.

3. Does anyone know where I can get the right strip? (I'm based in Melbourne, but can freight from anywhere in Australia.)

Thanks in advance

Matt

Thanks for that. My seems to have a combination.
