I am looking for the tension pins that secure the inner door handles. I put mine somewhere safe when I dissassembled the car and now I am unable to find them. Anyone have any spares, or know of a source?
Thanks,
Chuck

Your local hardware store, boat shed or speed shop will have clips that look like miniatures of the type commonly associated with hood pins. If you don't have any luck there, go to a men's store and get the tiny ones used for removable, ornate brass buttons.
I'd try someplace like this:

For general membership use, I use Kodak's translucent 35mm film containers for my little bitty pieces parts. I nail the container lids to the underside of the shelf over my workbench and label the body of the container with the contents. Stick the container up onto the lid, and they're still there months later.
Got the idea from Dad; he did that with Mason jars and put nails and screws and such in them.

I think CIP1 has them.

Yup, they be the ones. That price is much better that Mid America's. They want $10 for (4) plus shipping.... Yikes! I broke out the Dremel and reshaped some 1/8" pins from Lowes this weekend. I think that they will work just fine.
Thanks for the info.

Chuck,
A little off topic, but I was looking at the Pictures of your Speedster. The Carpet kit you got from Vintage... What color did you order? Was it the color you expected? What color is it (name)? I like the looks of it in your car and I'm thinking about the same color for my Red Speedster.
Thanks,

Greg: The carpet is charcoal gray. It is exactly what I was looking for to go with the black and gray upholstery. This is the same color scheme that I had many years ago on a much beloved '67 Ghia convertible.
