clips for grill cover needed

[Joe]

These parts seem to be no longer available. They are the small round clips that go around the posts that hold the wood radio grill cover in place. Does any one have a source, or has someone successfully substituted something else for them?
Thanks,
Joe

I am confused on this one. My radio grill (on the top of the dash) is fastened down with two screws. Do you mean the wood radio coverplate in the center of the dash for cars without a radio?

Yes, my speaker grill is held down by screws as well.

My 66 230SL has thes clips. The speaker cover has pins glued to the back and it pushes into the clips and no screws show. I replaced my wood with the screw down version and drilled new holes for the screws. I think these are the same clips that hold the fresh air vents on the dash. I will look to see if I still have mine or maybee I just left them installed. I am about to install a radio so I will look. Funny, the looks kind of went backwards with exposed screws, maybee it was just easier. Does anyone know how to easily release these little pin clamps? They sure can be difficult.
