84 CD Door pockets - what years/models will fit

I have an 84 300CD, and the driver's door pocket has broken. Will the door pockets out of a 74 W114 fit?

If not, does anybody have a blue driver's side door pocket they'd like to sell?

The set of Falkens on my car are about worn out and I like the looks of the wider tread.
The stock 195/70/14s just look too skinny on the CD.

Why? That seems like a really weird thing to say. Would you rather sell to an apathetic buyer? What is the problem with selling something to someone who is "eager" to buy it?

Well, if they really are 114.3mm then good luck with that. I wouldn't do it.

OK, now I see. Ford made lots of vehicles with the 5 on 114.3mm bolt pattern. FYI, 114.3mm is a 4-1/2" bolt circle.

Tires for my 1984 300CD

Will 225-60-14's fit without rubbing?
The diameter calculates out to 24.62" versus the stock 195-70-14 diameter of 24.74"

So the speedo ought to be pretty much spot on, but I'm wondering if...

Just thought I'd post up what I found. Put the Ohm meter on all 5 plugs - open circuit on every one of them.

So, anybody got any recommendations on a better plug than the standard Bosch units?
