Legendary Interiors makes a reproduction - BT64GAFERRULE (clear plastic) $5.00/pr. Do not know if they are correct however.

Ames has the correct ones. Don't know the PN, you should be able to find it on their website.

I checked Ames, but they aren't what I'm looking for.  I will post a picture soon.

Aren't these the factory-correct dook lock ferrules?

Hi Dan,

Here's a photo of a factory original from my convertible that I'm curently restoring. It measures 3/4" in diameter.  Is your photo of a repro ferrule?

Hi John:

My picture is the same as yours.  The repros Mark mentioned that Ames has do not match our picutres.  Do you know if these are reproduced?  Thanks

Dan,

Off hand, I do not know of any repro ferrules for our '65s. I am sure that you have already checked the usual aftermarket suppliers. Good luck and let us know if you find a source.
