I tried looking in the search but didn't see everything that I needed. I need the rivet that attaches to the frame of the door for my drivers side door lock actuator. I was replacing my old actuator when the white clip that it sits in snapped in half, so now i have to have a new one riveted to the door. Does anyone know what size/specification it is and if I can get that rivet locally? Is it a common item that I can find at like a hardware store or is it an actual ford part? I have seen it on ebay and late model resto but it is like a 2 dollar part and like 5-8 dollars to ship it. Also, has anyone ever just bolted the actuator to the door frame? Do I even need the rivet? Thanks in advance. Didn't know if this should be tech or talk, sorry if it is in the wrong place.

I broke a plastic actuator holder and simply undid the snap-ring holding the plastic bracket to the rivet, and then removed the plastic bracket.

Otherwise, see JRichker's write-up for the actuator retrofit. Though he had metal brackets (IIRC), he does list a fastener he used in lieu of a rivet as I recall.

Good luck.
