Looking for front fender V shaped trim for a 62 Valiant Signet 200.

Both sides appear to be the same.

Daughter drove it to Cars & Coffee, she took pics of the car while there, it was on it, but not once home, bummer.

Would consider a pair, as well as the rear trim which is broken.

See pics: Passenger side missing, driver side there, rear passenger broken.

I bought a rust free fender recently off a 62 Signet 200, of course it is missing the same piece of trim.
 
They are actually L & R. Different angle to mounting pin and maybe part body also. This is the most difficult piece of trim to find for a '62 Signet.

If L&R are different, it cannot be by much. I've looked at all the pics I have of my car, and others, as well as both fenders on the parts car I took the passenger fender off of, and I do not see an obvious difference. Not that there isn't.

My friend who I got the fender from, also has a 62 wagon, and wagons have the same rear trim, only.
He has a potential buyer for the wagon, so I need to wait until that falls through.

I think I'll have to remove all the trim from my 62 Signet, and make sure it is all secure, whether with studs, clips, adhesive, whatever it takes to prevent another piece falling off.

I called Wildcat, I saw a recent video with at least two 62s, they said they have both the front and rear pieces, said they would send pics.
After months, multiple calls, including last Friday, no pics sent yet.
I've dealt with them before, everything went smooth and quickly.
I'm patient, and it's currently single digits here, however I need to keep looking.
 
Wildcat does not have it.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Can you give me a measurement?

It is exactly 4" from the edge of the stainless to the center of the front mounting hole.

I measured the trim piece on the other side, the one that did not fall off, and from the edge of the stainless to the tip of the > shaped trim piece is 4 3/4".
This measurement is 3/4" longer because I followed the contour of the trim piece to the end with the tape measure.
