I've been sourcing NOS door lock actuators from Ebay and it looks like they are a slightly later flavor with a 1990/91 Part Number (Everything lines up fine and plugs in fine, However, the end on the rod for these ones are a Z shape with 2 bends instead of the basic L shape that the older actuators use. This means they need a different bushing. I made one work out of a generic Dorman kit, but I was hoping to find if anyone has a Ford part number for the 1990/91 (maybe 88+) bushing?
Also, the split rivet that retains them to the door? Most normal 1/4" pop rivets are too long.
Clipsandfasteners.com can be hard to dig through without the OEM part number or a recent supercession.
Part Numbers I know for sure, all are Motorcraft NOS parts
Actuator in my 1986 Country Squire: E5AF-54218A42-AA
Actuator from Ebay listing I purchased and installed in front pasenger door: FOAB-54218A42-AA, F1AZ-54218A42A
Actuator on Ebay with a "U" shaped end to the lock rod but listed as 79-91 Panther: E93Z-54218A42-A
Image of Actuator I found on this forum with L shaped link rod end: E1AF-54218A42-AA.
Thanks for any input on bushings or rivets!
