A friend of mine is working on a 69 Newport Convertible and the boot cover is in pretty good shape, but not all of the mounting hooks have survived the ages.
He’s got an upholsterer lined up to sort it out, but can’t source the hooks at all.
A bit of searching shows that the most likely option is to get a new boot, but there’s an uncertainty that a 69 still had the clips instead of snaps. This is definitely a 69, and there definitely no snaps.
I’ve suggested checking with cbodies.com, but thought I’d throw a post here to see if anyone has an old boot cover with hooks that they’d be willing to part with.
