Default 1957 inner reveal molding fasteners

Hi,
I am putting the moldings back on my 1957 Vette. I have located all the clips and fasteners except the inner reveal molding on the inside of the door. Does anyone know who can supply the clips and fasteners that I will need to attach this molding. Ecklers, Corvette Central, Keens, Zip don't seem to have it. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

Are you referring to the molding on the door panel?

I used plastic push pins from Home Depot. The top looks like a golf ball marker and you can get a size to fit inside the cove molding. The stem is serrated and fit the holes perfectly. I used a rubber hammer and something to spread the impact so as not to bend or dimple the trim.
It has worked great for me. Much better then the stock type fasteners and has been on for over ten years with no problems.

The inner stainless on the top of the door (the one with the fuzzy attached) is held on with phillips screws into the door.

And the fuzzies are held on the stainless with staples.

Thank you for your help. I thought that there was special clips that were needed.
Thanks again,
