They sell them on ebay under the name "spiffy caps". These are black plastic. I have also seen one of the vendors selling metal chrome ones, which I have, but they don't stay in the holes very well.

I think you need 2-7/16 and 2-5/8. check the sizes. I only have two holes per door because of bigger factory armrests.

Go to Ace hardware or Home depot they are only 50cents a pc instead of the ebay 10 plus 5-6 shipping!

Do a search for "spiffy caps" you may find the sizes you need!

door plugs

Just found some new styles available at Outmotoring's site. Checkered and also British flags. A little costly at 29.95 but another alternative.

I just got my set of the checkered caps from Moss ($28.95). They were a bit expensive, but, they sure look great!

These are incorrect sizes for an R-53. The sizes you need are 2ea. 5/8, and 2ea. 11/16 and are available in most hardware stores in black, white and chrome

That's why I said said check the sizes.
Ace Hardware in my town, gave me the case to take out to my car to test fit.

Sorry, too many football injuries
