V8 250 - 1968 - Quarter light question

Post by sidfish »

Hi - I have been looking for a replacement driver-side quarter light clasp (or a replacement quarter light) as my quarter light clasp appears to be missing a rubber wash / ring and a securing pin. Hence if I open the quarter light, the clasp will fall off. However ... while I have had little luck finding the rubber washer and securing pin, I have found complete quarter lights with a completely different clasp.

Namely: both of my quarter light clasps are simple things that you only need to turn to open and close. Other clasps I have seen have a button that needs pressing in order to open and close.

Hence my question: does any one know, for a 1968 V8 250, which quarter light would be more appropriate? the one with or without the button on the clasp?

I reckon to change the clasps, I would have to replace the quarter light entirely... which I would rather not do unless the others are more accurate to the year. And in any case, I am still looking for a good solution to secure the clasp so it will not fall out (anyone have a rubber washer and securing pin that would suit?)

Thanks!

Did you get the answer you neede to this ? My 68 saloon has those clasps on the front quarter-lights; a more elaborate/elegant clasp on the rears. Afraid i have not had to replace any of them.

Hi - I think we have the same... And still looking for the solution to securing the clasp. A particularly frustrating little thing ...
