Threaded inserts
Looking for the threaded inserts to hold the door Armrest handles to the inside of the door. They fit in the square holes.
Who carries these inserts? My 67 came without handles and I need to have them to save the door lever from being used to close the door.

Re: Threaded inserts
OK, thank you, I wasn't sure if they were plastic or metal clips.

Re: Threaded inserts
If you are looking for restoration accuracy I'm 90% sure they were cage nuts. The license plate nuts will work, fine, but I don't believe they are "correct".
If you need to know for sure I can go out and pull an armrest off and look at my 67.
