Wanted the small clips that fit into the 1/2" by 2 1/8" hole in the rear arm rest vanity case, and the leather covered note book and mirrors, and even the brown cigar lighters if possible.

I am attempting a very authentic restoration. I have the ashtrays and could probably get by with chrome plated cigar lighters but I really need the clips (Pockets the size of the hole and about 3" deep with gaps on the sides. Hard to explain but they are unseen except for the chrome top.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have been told and read in the authenticity manual that there are chrome topped clips or pockets inserted into the holes and then a small leather note book goes into the right one and a leather covered mirror goes into the left one.

The "pocket" has a chromed rim which is the only thing you can see when it is inserted into the hole. It is partially open on the sides and has 3 inch long springs to keep it in place.

I have heard that the notebooks have been replicated. If you have any of these items or know a source for them I would appreciate your help.
