Seat Back Clips/Rivets

[CTX-SLPR]

Where can you get the seat back clips/rivets that hold the bottoms of the seat back on? Finally got a new seatback but the clips were shot from it being floppy for so long.

Thanks,

Are you talking about the plastic backs for the gen II front seats?
Just about any auto parts or hardware store should have push pins that will work for the lower part of the cover.

Not any of the one's I've been too, they are either too small in the stem or not double headed. Ford Parts says the HM1 is discontinued.

Found a workable rivet at Napa: Balkamp 665-2856. They need modification to work, need to trim the head down and the bottom ring of the "Christmas tree" so it will clip into the seat back but they are plenty long enough and come in packs of 10. They are not double headed so you need to do that last step to get them to slide in and even then I had to use a pair of needle nose pliers to get a good enough grip to force them into the center slot.
