Replacement door pins

[johnh]

Does anybody else think the replacement door pins with r/c body clips looks cheesy? It's almost like a quick disconnect for your doors. As restorations become more common I'm curious if there will be a better replacement for the factory pins.

On the contrary, I did replace the door pins, rollers and striker bushings so it's nice to have those parts available.

Not a big fan of the Jesus clips at the ends either. There is a retainer washer that presses on one way and won't move the other way that would look much nicer. I can't remember what the correct name for it is though.

I've ordered new pins from LMR but have not installed them yet.

Right now both door panels are off and I've replaced the door handles, window motors, window guides and door actuators. Door pins are next, might be ordering the rollers and striker bushings as well.

I replaced one on my old 88 GT years ago, all they offered was this style you posted. I actually used another style Ford pin that was offered at the local parts store, the name of the company was "Help" which now may have merged with "dorman" searching them on the web.

From the stuff I have ordered from LMR, the majority of the "replacement" items have been manufactured by the company "Help".
