How are the clips that hold the shields on removed/replaced? They appear to have a stud that is peened over . I would like to remove them and restore/replace as they are rusty .

Steve, would know the part number of either the shield or the clip? I know the group number for your gravel shield is 12.114 but that all I know.

My apologies Hawkeye as I did not see your reply until now. I do not know the part number for either and can not find them in my parts book. Also my 51 accy installation manual does not have instructions for mounting. I did remove the retainer clips and am guessing they are not original and were fabricated locally. Possibly the shields are 4589001 and 4589002 which are in grp 12.116

I viewed it and it is very helpful. Thank you, It also helped me to realize that the 29-55 parts manual I have is missing some of the last index reference pages. Finally found the clip numbers in grp 12.118 but only the 4588152 was illustrated. I'll call Restoration Specialties tomorrow and hopefully they can clear up my confusion.

Got the sample and a new catalog and the sample is exactly what I need. I will try to post a photo shortly. Thanks to Hawkeye for the part number as I still can not find it in their NEW catalog.

Yes it did. I called this AM and ordered the balance of clips needed plus a set for spares. I was very impressed with the service from Restoration Specialties as they sent a sample and new catalog at N/C. Also when I ordered the balance they advised shipping would be at actual cost and not a flat rate or a percentage of the order value. They were friendly and pleasant to deal with and I would highly recommend them. They have a good selection of misc. hardware and other hard to find items in their 232 page catalog.

Are you talking about the rear shiels or the front.
