I got the plastic sleeves for my Alpine when I restored it. They seemed to
work. But it's been 25 years. I don't know why Sunbeam used different
sized holes for the bottom clips of the door panel. But my door
definitely had factory plastic inserts when I got it, and the holes along
the bottom were bigger to use the sleeves. This was a very late 1967
Alpine, with the non-peaked headlight rims and license plate lights on the
bumper.
On the door strap mount, on that same Alpine, it was some sort of rivet
type of thing. I ended up replacing it with little aluminum nut and bolt
that had very flat heads. The nut was not a nut but basically a screw head
with a threaded hole in the center. They are readily available at the
hardware store. But, the aluminum wears out. So I later replaced it with
a real bolt and lock nut - and I filed down the nut and bolt head to be
very thin. So far that's working fine.
