MG Midget and Sprite Technical - hole size for door panel clips

Can someone tell me the hole size in the midget door, that the door card clips fit into. I want to know if I can use these clips for my MGB door cards.

Steve, what age is your B? Mine are screwed on.

My B has a new shell so the doors have the holes in for the clips. If I use the MGB clips I have to insert these before I put the vinyl cover on (at least I think I do...I haven't seen a card with these clips in). With the Midget type clips I can insert these afterwards if I decide not to use Velcro. The cards I took off were screwed on but I think this will look wrong with cream coloured door cards.

Steve -

Not sure if this will help or not, but when I re-did my Midget interior in Autumn Leaf last year I simply painted the hardware to match the upholstery:

You can see some of them here - I was pretty pleased with how it all turned out.
