Arm rest clips

[turbotim2]

Does anyone know a local source for the arm rest clips?

C7AZ-6224146-A

Seems crazy to spend $10 shipping on a $1 part.

Thanks.

You might actually try a local Ford dealer. Since you have the number you never know, they may have some still.
Otherwise be sure to ask whoever you're looking at that has them to use USPS instead of UPS or other setup. Then again, if they're like us and do everything through a pre-programmed computer, it probably categorizes it as "boxed" and our guys can't just throw it in an envelope and put a stamp on it. Sometimes I long for the "good old days" in that regard.

I'd suggest a local NAPA, but frankly that clip is just specialized enough that it might be a hard one to find locally other than a dealer.
But you never know, so don't overlook them at least for a quick try.

Good luck.

Check your local auto parts store. Sometimes they have Dorman or Needa part versions.

Ok I will do that. I am going to have one with me to compare. Looks like a lot of different Fords used them.

I would think either a dealer or parts store would have them.

Do you have any local Mustang shops near you? I'm 99% sure the 66-68 Mustangs used the same clip.

Here's the one on my 68 Mustang:

I have 2 old Bronco doors and I was going to offer to mail you the clips from those, but they're actually plastic, not the metal clips.

I don't know of any mustang shops around.
Thanks for the offer, strange that those are plastic, haven't seen those before!

I have some I pulled out of some doors I have laying in my shop. Be happy to give them to you, if you are interested let me know.
