Re: 76 executive beadings
I was lucky to find a 2nd set and made up an acceptable set but I still kinda wish I had filled in the holes tbh.
I have since found out that the boating shops sell a beading that is stuck on with double sided tape that looks like an acceptable replacement.
If you keep the standard beading I found the following BMW clips which work perfectly as a replacement for the bit that goes into the hole.

Thanks Bruce ,filling up the holes worries me that it might show cracks after a while.Also looked at the stick on ,they even have end caps.
