i'm in the process of rebuilding the driver's door internals, and am stumped. on the latch rod that connects the outside handle to the latch, there is a pin that fits through a hole in a tab on the latch. what holds it in place? there is not a hole in the pin for a small cotter key, nor a groove for a e-clip. is it held in place just by tension? seems that it would work it way out

thank you sir. i think i have some extras of these from redoing the other rods. i didn't think about these; didn't think they would work with the large adjustment "nut" that's on the back end of the pin.

The nut you're referring to is the round piece with a threaded hole in it and a pin on the side of the round piece right?

I know there is a little clip like the one in the link on that rod, but I'm not 100% sure if it is the same clip as on the non threaded rods.
