Door Map Pockets

First post, but have been collecting information from you guys for about 2 years.
1974 Ford F100 Ranger, 360 Automatic. No rust through, just the normal surface stuff on the roof and hood.
Ok...question I have is I am installing a set of map pockets on the doors below the door panel. I finally found a set of blue ones in great shape. Can anyone tell me the hole size in the door that the plastic clips fit into?
Thank you much,
David

Off the top of my head, the holes are 1/4". But, I'm not going to pull my map pockets off to double check! Drill a 1/4" hole in a piece of scrap (lamb tough dodge) & see if the push in clip fits.

Thanks Scott,
Can you tell me if yours has 4 or 6 clips? Each that I have have 4 clips, but 2 empty slots along the top edge.
Hoping the picture will post.
Thanks again,
David

I will eye ball the spare set of pockets in the shed and count the press in clips (X mas trees). If I can find the door they came off of I will measure the holes.

Ok found out that my parts bronco had them, well at least it has the 6 holes. And yes they are 1/4 " diameter.

And my blue map pockets on the shelf, have or had at one time, 6 mount push pins.

Thank you 77&79F250,
Found some clips to fit into the slots along the top, made a cardboard template and drilled 1/4" holes. Snapped right in. PO of the pockets had 3 extra holes in each one so added the extra security with some trim screws.
Next will be to freshen up the door panels.
Thanks again!!!
