I’m looking for the link to a guy who showed a detailed how to install the U-channel felt on a b body. I think it was a bronze super bee coupe I think..?
I’ve searched but can’t seem to find it now

Yeah, those in my Bee are the crappy reproductions from several years ago. I paid some big money this past spring for a pair of nos ones, after being told from several sources no reproductions were in the works. They will be going in my Road Runner this winter. I would be curious as to how yours compare to my originals.....

The original worn one on the left. They’ll have to be cut to length, and holes pinched or melted etc. Didn’t put the guide/rivet together for the photo as the pin is very tight in the hole of the guide. I may use the originals instead of the re pop rivets.

Some of the early rivets were black and fuzzy. I would use the old rivets that you have. I also used a revolving punch to make holes.

What’s a revolving punch? Like the one pictures in dadsbee post below?

No, mine's just a normal old paper hole punch that you used in grade school...

A revolving leather and punch is used by people such as shoemakers, shoe repairman, hobbyists, etc. Places that sell leather goods should have them. Tandy leather would have them. The hole punch has 5 or 6 bits so you can pick your size. Googled and Canadian Tire Has them. The punch I had in my working career is an Osborne made before 1950.
