For one of my fender skirts, I am missing the two stud and clip assemblies that attach the stainless trim on the lower edge of the skirt, on either side of the latch assembly.  It looks like these tend to rust pretty easily.  It looks like a pretty unusual clip that would be difficult to improvise.  Does anyone know a source for these, or whether they are used on any other cars, other than presumably the Sixty Special?

Upon further investigation, it appears that I have the clips, but am missing the threaded stud that passes through the clip and snugs the trim against the skirt.  But I think I can improvise using a machine screw and several washers.  Without disassembling the good side, all you would see in a picture is the threaded end of the stud, and I'm reluctant to disassemble since its pretty rusty.
