While putting my 1960 Vette in the garage, the passenger side door lock knob fell off and I lost the little 'C' spring that fits inside the door knob. It's the same kind of 'C' spring that is also used on the door window handles...
I tried to purchase them locally but no one seem to stock them. So I purchased a GM replacement window handle locally but the C clip seems to be too big and would not lock on. Worked fine on a a window crank though....
Aa few weeks ago I included the 4 lock retainers with my next order from Corvette Central. However all 4 retainers are the same size. They appear to be for the door window handle. I spent two hours the past weekend trying to get the retainer to work with the door lock handle, but it was a no go. The lock would simply fall off... They do work fine on the window handle though.... I even used pliers to tighten the retainer, but still would not hold....
Suggestions?
TIA
