I did a search didn't come across anything.

Does anyone know if the 2 clips that go on the door scoops of the 70 r/t's are being reproduced ?

Thanks

Unfortunately not.  I epoxy clips on the back of the scoops and they seem to work well.   if you want, you can drill holes thru the doors and scoops and counter sink a screen in the fiberglass.   I've seen it both ways and work well.

What I did with mine is drill and tap where the clips go and put a bolt ( 8/32") in with the head cut off. I also put some loctite on the thread before screwing the bolt into the scoop from the back and I left a nut on the bolts so when the head is cut off the nut will re thread the bolt. So now when the bolt goes through the holes in the door all you have to do is a lock washer and nut. If you want you could also put apiece of felt around the bolts before mounting so to reduce water from entering.

I did pretty much the same thing except I used stainless steel set screws (rust prevention), as I felt the clips were a rather flimsy set up from the factory, I'd rather have a scoop bolted on than clipped...
