So, a problem part is the door pins that do wear. These can make a popping sound when the door is opened. We have machined these to be slightly larger so that they will take up some slop in the old door stay arms if you are not doing a complete rebuild. They make a very tight fit on the new arms and will not allow the pin to shift in the new arms (the old pins tend to corrode and wear over time).
So you can buy just the pins at $8 a set
These just came back from plating (note the current picture shows unplated I'll update tomorrow) and we will be kitting up starting tomorrow.
Best deal if you do on have these is the entire kit at $44. This will do both doors and includes the standard kit shown + 2 new pins.
SO Who's interested?

Yes, Thank you. Just the pins please.
I did this rebuild as part of my full door restoration last month but yes one of my doors is popping, so I would like to get pins only for both doors, thanks!!

2 sets of pins please
1 set of the pins for me also.
I see there are no holes for cotter pins, or grooves for a snap ring clip. do the pins just drop in there and stay?
I don't have the original pins, I have bolts w/ nuts in there now. and they are too loose.
I'll take a set of pins. Thank you.
Would like a full kit.
I need the pins please
I need the full kit.
Full kit for me too, please. Thanks, Mark!
Is there a "how to" on this anywhere? I bought a set a couple months ago, opened the door, looked at it, and closed the door and grabbed another beer from the fridge instead.
I'm quite certain I could figure it out, just takes some motivation to get started (and beer). Knowing in advance what's involved helps with that motivation (but, sadly, not the beer).
I'll take a full set
In for Pins
I need 6 pins please.

One set of pins please.
I need a couple pins to replace the screws that came with the car.
And BTW- If you thought the pins that attach the emergency brake cables to the rear calipers would work, think again.

One set of pins please.
I would like a kit.
PMs sent to all to this point,
Received my door pins and it fixed the door popping problem I have had for many years. I thought the only way I would be able to fix it was to have the holes welded up and re-drilled to the correct dimension.
The slightly larger pin fixed my problem and now my door opens and closes smoothly just like new.
Thank you 914Rubber!

The mode of failure is actually galvanic corrosion. It takes metal off the pin and aluminum. My pins still fit the bracket.
So your refering to the Arm (alum) & pin (steel) wearing?
While I agree that occurs, my question is re the Jamb bracket.
Received and installed pins yesterday. It took care of the popping problem!
Yeah! It’s been driving me crazy for years.
Thanks,
Rob
Very nice quality parts. For $44 you cant come close to beating.. Great job Mark

I am interested in one full kit, please.
Came back Rennsport yesterday to the package with the full kit.
Now I just need to find the time to install them.
PMs sent to all so far.
Gonna close this out tomorrow (friday) at midnight. So get them while you can at the GB price.
Thanks to all.
Mark
got my kit. anything i should know about doing the replacement? instructions?
The pin is simple. There is a cotter pin in the stock version (many are missing), so if it's there remove before tapping it up and out.
The door side will require removal of the panels to get the assembly out. Removal is 2 bolts pretty easy.
Once out the springs need to be removed . BE CAREFUL and wear eye protection. Once springs are removed the rollers can be replaced pretty easily.
I have found a bench vice helpful for the process.
I have a thread here somewhere, I'll try to find it later tonight.
