Refreshing Door Latches

[Blade]

I recently removed the door latches from my 1991 Comanche. Both sides were gummed up with dirty dried out grease, or what ever lube was used on them. Once removed, a hot high pressure washer was used to clean the latches, then the latches we're soaked over night in ATF fluid. The brittle plastic rod clips were also replaced. Latches are working like new again.

Any recommendations on where to obtain new clips for these excluding the dealership wanting $5 a clip?

I bought the rod clips from a local automotive paint and body supply shop. Picked them from an assortment drawer .80 each.

I didn't think to look for big kits of these clips. Did it look a bit like this one? Because this one seems to have the necessary clips in it and then some,

Yes! You are on the track.

I try to look for the older metal clips rather than rely on plastic ones here in AZ.
