Anybody know where to get these, because I 100% fail to get them off in one piece from the old doors.

Nope... no luck. The part code is BRC8990 but I failed to find them from rimmers site. Maybe I should email them and ask if they got any.

That may be the best thing to do. If you include a photo of the clips they may be able to locate what you need. I'd be surprised if they knew the part numbers for generic clips used on several marques.

Rimmers do these little clips! But be warned, they are exspensive for what they are! I recall that Rimmers charged a pound per clip.....

Lucky Me! Years of rape and pillage secured sufficient ex scrapyard door card fixing buttons to cover for those already broken or yet to be broken. Then at a spares day someone was selling new ones at a shilling per:

Whats a fellow to do?

Then I found a way of NOT breaking them. Prior to assy, smear vaseline on the button and pop into place, upon removal use something similar to this and lever them off, square.
