Threaded inserts

Looking for the threaded inserts to hold the door Armrest handles to the inside of the door. They fit in the square holes.
Who carries these inserts?
My 67 came without handles and I need to have them to save the door lever from being used to close the door.

OK, thank you, I wasn't sure if they were plastic or metal clips.

Re: Threaded inserts

If you are looking for restoration accuracy I'm 90% sure they were cage nuts. The license plate nuts will work, fine, but I don't believe they are "correct".
If you need to know for sure I can go out and pull an armrest off and look at my 67.
