John,

Do you mean StagByTriumph Garage operated by Glenn Merrell, aka =
StagByTriumph?

Maybe.

Here is the scoop:

First there are several types of clips and fittings.  Some suppliers get =
it wrong with their =E2=80=9Ckits=E2=80=9D, combining the wrong parts or =
not asking the customer the correct questions first.

Another factor is of course the Dreaded Previous Mechanic, Dreaded =
Previous Owner, Dreaded Previous Dealer who may have changed or applied =
the incorrect parts in a repair.

=20

The hardtop upper brightwork  trim812219  original plastic clips 625953 =
are a two part system. Some hardtops have had these replaced with metal =
clips and pop rivets.  Going to metal created  problems as it deformed =
the trim and nicked the paintwork metal and allowed corrosion and rust =
to quickly set in.

http://www.ldpart.co.uk/shop/shop.php?c=3Dviewproduct&pid=3D239&cat=3D53&=
maincat=3D9&start=3D0&sid=3Dsid25d6421f0fba01e2271bf48408436403

1.       There is a plastic plug with a hole in the center that gets =
pushed into the drilled hole in the metal.

2.       The second part is the tabbed plastic  with a plastic round =
post to match with the hole plug

The tabbed portion  is twisted into the metal trim piece.  These allow =
the tabbed piece to be slid to position with the plug. =20

=20

The other trim pieces 813775/6 at the windows are metal clips 630881 for =
the sides;  There are two different size holes for these clips.  It is =
not like BL produced a hundred thousand Hard Tops for Stags, but they =
did build many other models and marques using the same trims and clips.

http://www.ldpart.co.uk/shop/shop.php?c=3Dviewproduct&pid=3D586&cat=3D53&=
maincat=3D9&start=3D0&sid=3Dsid25d6421f0fba01e2271bf48408436403

Note there should also be a plastic gasket 622663  & 623720 under the =
edge of the hardtop metal edge that was once held in place by the trim =
clips holding the brightwork below the hard top side and rear windows.  =
This plastic =E2=80=9CJ=E2=80=9D shaped strip trapped water and caused =
the hardtop edge under the rear windows to rot =E2=80=93 there was a =
rolled seam there.

=20

I will guess that supplier of the clips for that kit did not ask which =
size holes =E2=80=93 typically 7/64=E2=80=9D for the side brightwork, or =
the picker grabbed the wrong pop rivets.

=20

This is why I recommend LDPart.co.uk for things like this on Stags.  =
Peter Howells knows the subtle differences and pays careful attention to =
these details.

=20

In North America, if you have a good parts counter person at a good =
parts supplier such as NAPA, they will grab the clips catalogue and a =
caliper if they cannot locate it in their extensive database online and =

For any clip for any LBC, Check the UK company Bresco,  =
http://www.bresco.com =E2=80=93 chances are they got clips to fit any =
trim on any of your LBC=E2=80=99s, just be exact on your measurements =
because clips can look the same but be different in a dimension by a =
fraction of an inch or mm.  They have the plastic two piece hardtop =
system as used on Jaguars / BL / Rover Triumph, and the metal clip =
pieces for the other areas on the vehicle for the attaching the =
brightwork.  Pop rivets, buy those at your local hardware store.
