OER Door lock ferrules

[themechanic]

I bought OER door lock ferrules part# MD101 for 68-70 B body. They suck and do not fit well. They are loose and no way to tighten unless I remove the door panel and spread the tabs underneath. There is no guarantee that will work. I do not want to glue them down.

Any suggestions on a different manufacturer?

Thanks FBBO

Megaparts has them. I've always had good luck with them

I thought they were all loose. I used a small tapered alignment punch down through the bezel and rocked it and the tabs tighten right up. Otherwise they will chip the paint if you push them in the tabs expanded.

Those are the same ferrules as I have.

That might work if the door lock rod was not in the way. Or did you do it with the lock rod in the hole?
