There is a fellow by the name of Rick Miller (on the left coast, I believe) that restores trim rings. I know he advertises in Hemmings in, at least, the Corvette parts section and possibly the Chevelle/Camaro section as well. It might be worth giving him a call. If you don't have a Hemmings, let me know and I'll look it up.

Regards,

Mark

The currently available GM trim rings are not correct.

[/ QUOTE ] Don't they have the 4 clips on the inside or do they have the sharks teeth, Is there a difference at the valve stem. Thanks Doug

I know the 15" trim rings are available with the four clip design although I'm not sure if that is from GM or the reproduction side. They are very accurate except that the clip placement varies from the original design. The clips, originally, were oriented with one clip adjacent to the valve stem hole and in 90 degree intervals thereafter. The clips can easily be moved on the new rings to replicate the original design. They score as original in NCRS judging if the clips are moved to the proper location.

Perhaps Paragon Reproductions, or someone here in this forum, can say if they are available in the 14" size.

Mark
