1939 V8 Deluxe Fordor: I am looking for clips holding the chrome bar trim piece on the hood just below the Ford Script. The piece has metal posts that go through holes in the hood and are somehow fastened in place with some sort of clip. Anyone know what I need and possible supplier? Steve '39 DeLuxe Fordor

I don't think that is the product that I need for this. Actually, I just found on Amazon, the product that I believe will do the trick. It is known as an internal tooth starlock washer. Steve '39 DeLuxe Fordor

Steve, you might find those washers at your local hardware store. the trim on my '37 uses a common small flat washer. the washers you speak of as well can be found there. Tom.

I understand you’re looking for clips to hold the chrome trim piece on the hood. You might want to check with classic car parts suppliers like Mac's Antique Auto Parts or Carpenter's. They often have the accessories for vintage Ford vehicles.

I don’t think a washer will hold that moulding. I think these clips are what you need. I need some as well for the fender nameplate on my 53 Monterey. TIM CARLIG

Classic1, The authentic clips were termed "speed nuts" or often referred to as "speed clips". They are available at a decent hardware store in various sizes. I'd suggest you take the trim piece with you for the best fit selection. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

They’re NOT speed clips or nuts…. TIM CARLIG

Tim, What you show are not the clips that Ford used. You may rest assured I know what clips were used having fully and properly restored a number of these '39 models. Mike "Kube" Kubarth This message was edited by kubes40 on 3-27-25 @ 6:09 AM

Mike, I know the clips I showed WERE NOT what Ford used. I only posted them to illustrate what you named in your post. I think the clips were called barrel nuts, not sure though. TIM CARLIG

Tim, Back in 1939, Ford did call them speed nuts. No doubt that term has dwarfed into something else these days. I have attached a photo of a speed nut, albeit not a very good photo, it should help the original poster find what he needs. This type of "nut" is what was used to secure the trim in question. Those clips you depicted in an earlier post are similar. Those though are designed to stay in place while a post is pushed into it. The original type, as shown by me, was installed by pushing it over the post. Mike "Kube" Kubarth This message was edited by kubes40 on 3-27-25 @ 11:08 AM

The one you just showed will work if you can get your hand behind the panel to push it on. I’m looking for the type that slip over the stud then the nameplate can be pushed into the panel. TIM CARLIG
