rain gutter trim 1800 1968

I am looking for the chrome trim on the rain gutter. I "corkscrewed" mine when I took it off. Any sources??

    I've ordered it through the local dealership as recently as a year ago; about $35 per side.

    The good thing about ordering trim from the local dealership is that it's less likely to be bent than if it's ordered from overseas.

    Best,

      Thanks! I just don't ever think about dealerships since the nearest one is about 5 hours away. However, my son lives in Billings, MT where there is a dealership. I'll see what he comes up with.

      Ditto! Will Call at local dealership. If it shows up bent, you don't have to own it.

    Is it really bad or just gently warped? If the latter you can probably put
    it back on OK.

      There are no kinks in it, but it does look a lot like an orange peal. I thought if I could find some better pieces, I could save myself some headaches. I am making a shot bag to do trim repairs, though.

        Check with Joe at swedishtreasures.com he has gotten me some great looking OE trim...but expect sticker shock. I may just mask and paint around the rain gutters in the future as it is cheaper than my ham-fisted removal techniques.
