Trim moulding? How many clips?

I have a 73' MGB roadster, and I am getting ready to put the final touches to my car before it is done. It lacks the bristelflex (wheres the cheapest place, and does it come in pairs) and the side trim moulding. I just opened the moulding the other day, and it had the hardware for attachmenting in there. I only see 6 clips and then the rivots they use. How many clips are there supposed to be? It seem like there should be more like 6 per side?
Two per strip in my opinion. But I could be wrong, so thats why I am asking.
Anyone know the answer?

Thanks

Looks like 6 of the stud plates, 3 per side? If thats true, are the stud plates just one per moulding, and does it go at the beginning or end of each moulding?
Thanks

As I remember, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">guys correct me if I'm wrong,</span></span> all the clips with the exception of the end clips on each trim piece are pop riveted on with small steel pop rivets. Don't use the end holes yet. The trim ends have a small bolt on clip with nuts and washers that goes in the end holes. PJ

The 3 clips per side go at the very front of the front fender mldg, the very rear of the rear quarter panel mldg. and the very center of the door. The holes are larger in those spots. bob
