    Door Rod Clips (Where Our Vendor/Scalpers Get Them)

    Yep, same concept/design. Chevy used them in doors back in the '50s. I'm sure they even pre-date that.

    Door Rod Clips (Where Our Vendor/Scalpers Get Them)

    Well, it's been discussed again.

    Door Rod Clips (Where Our Vendor/Scalpers Get Them)

    Except the price that doesn't f*** the community members up the a** And I don't see Henry's listed there as a source of fasteners, etc. So you're pretty much mistaken....

    Door Rod Clips (Where Our Vendor/Scalpers Get Them)

    The right printer and material isn't cheap to do it, so I get that. Then again, these would come out to a=bout $20 after shipping for 50 of ea. :)

    Door Rod Clips (Where Our Vendor/Scalpers Get Them)

    Door Rod Clips (Where Our Vendor/Scalpers Get Them)

    Personally, I tack weld a small SS washer onto the rod ends (that will never break off or fail, but can still be pulled off with plyers if needed). But I know some like to "keep it OEM" so....

    Door Rod Clips (Where Our Vendor/Scalpers Get Them)

    $20 shipped for 50 lefts and rights (you need both). That's far less than a single set sold by "community vendors" (who also will charge you another $10 for shipping). *No point of compass website required: https://henrysautowarehouse.com/product/clearance-3/...
