Jaguar mark 2 beading clips
#2
Alex can you explain what you mean by side beadings and clips?
If you are referring to the chrome strips that run along the doors there are a couple of different types of clip. The first is a square clip that you rivet to the door which has tangs above and below. The chrome strip is then laid over the bottom tang and press fitted in to place with your thumb over the top tangs.
The second type of clip is a round button which again is riveted to the side of the car and again the chrome strip is just pressed over the button in to place. At the front of the drivers door there is one clip which is a "T" shape with a bolt and nut. The "T"clip is placed inside the chrome strip and the bolt goes through a hole in the door skin and a nut holds it in place on the inside of the door jam by the "A" pillar.
If you are referring to the chrome strip on the side of the bonnet these have small square clips which attache to the chrome and then have two tangs which go through the holes on the side of the bonnet and from the inside are bent over to hold the chrome tight to the side of the bonnet.
I am sure that Glyn will be able to show some photos of the clips that you require but you need to explain exactly what you mean by side beadings.

Hi Cass3958,
I bought 100 clips for the side beadings on the car, hey are the pop rivet type,
Having never done this I was unsure, you seemed to have solved that for me,
It's a clients car, so didn't want to make a mistake,
I only have the pop rivets, no T shaped clips,
Don't know if the bonnet beadings need to be refitted, I have not seen the car,
Many thanks,
Alex

Note. You need a riveter with a slim end/nozzle to fit inside the button to pull the rivet tight.
Suggest you read this whole thread but especially from this page onward. Yes I know it's for an S Type but is similar.

This is the "T" shaped clip that goes inside the chrome and then bolts to the front of the door just behind the "A" pillar. as described.

man! how many types of clips can 1 molding use?
I remember removing and replacing side moldings in MG-B and Volvo 1800-E and they were the type used for tonneau covers and convertible tops. Easy to push on and pull off.
But a Jaguar molding require 3 types of clips?
I am glad I don't have to do that.

Jose should note that Jaguar use more than 3 types of clips to hold on chrome mouldings. They are far more complex cars than MGB GT's & old Volvos.

Alex without going out and removing my chrome to count them I would not know off the top of my head. Buying them individually might cost you more than buying the moulding kit that Glyn has posted a picture of above for £55 from SNG. Buying the kit will give you everything you need for all the mouldings on the car and it is set for the Jaguar Mk2 so all the correct parts will be in it including the two "T" shaped clips for the front of the doors.

Buy the kit. It covers both Mk2 & S type & gives you a few spares. Far too many to count around the car.
Or find a Parts Manual & count all the different types. This is S type. Have no Mk2
Centre of bonnet strip takes yet another of the T clips that Cass shows & then yet another type clip for the rest.

True, sorry, I'd missed it. It's also worth adding some contact adhesive under any lengths of trim that aren't so well supported and might wear away the paint through vibration. It's not so much a problem on Mk2s and S types, but it is a very real one on the series XJs with side trim, notably on the front wings.
