door panel question again

I located the appropriate door panels that I wanted, painted them ready to screw on after removing the vinyl panels. Is there some kind of insert that should be in the holes that I need to screw into? Wasn't smart enough to look while at the yard...If so, where do I buy them? If they are not any and my holes are too big, what then? thanks, bryan

Since I was too dumb to put in here that these are metal panles from a 69 that I am trying to install in my Sport Custom 72 this might have been hard to understand. sorry. bryan

Yes, there are clips that go in the holes to screw into for the metal door panels. I am switching the other way, from the metal door panels to the cloth ones. If you e-mail me, I'll send you some links to places that may carry them.

They are known as J-clips and you may be able to find some through a local body shop or auto parts store.

This page probably has what you need:

Search the on-line store for "j clip" and this might be what you need:

We have a store here in town called the "Clip House" where they carry all sorts of those little clips and plastic moulding thingies that break or fall off whenever you work on your car. See if you can find one in your area.

the short answer is no they don't

1968 to 1972 door panels and guts interchange (newer safety handles)

1967 is all on it's own. (suicide handles)

You can swap whole doors 1967 to 1972 though.
