Appreciate your input, learning as i go

Sorry, I meant to share the info that those parts the business lists are available. He does show the clips but I’m unsure if those are offered by themselves. The owner is a good guy.

The metal reinforcement is probably not reproduced but perhaps the vendor has something similar as he is offering a reproduced hatch that presumably has a similar reinforcement.

I did send him an email, and message via FB page, yet to hear back, as I was thinking/hoping the same. I have an order with them for other pieces that I placed last week, but no shipping notification so if they do have them hoping can be added. I will try and call them tomorrow but with time difference it is a little tricky.

The clips they show look identical to ones that were used on our 60 & 70's locally built GM Holdens, so I have ordered some from local supplier, and will see how they go.

Appreciate your assistance

As was mentioned earlier, if I have no luck I'll have it repaired or a new one made.

Here is what the original clips look like.

I spoke with Motor City K5 on Monday, he does make them for his repro hatch, but wasn't selling as an individual piece. I had one made here, will give it a coat of paint before installing

Part 2.
I am looking for the rubber gasket that mounts under the hatch handle and the rubbers that are on the hatch rods.

What are the rubbers on the rods called and what do they do?
