What Size Door Poppers For My '49 Olds 98

I've shaved the door handles, hood ornament, and trunk lid handle on my '49 convertible 98. I haven't selected the door poppers, because I don't have a brand or size selected yet. Any help?

Bob, DO NOT use an AutoLoc kit. These guys are jabronis.

http://www.autoloc.com/

I bought seat belts from them years ago and they are pieces of junk. I joined their "member's club" when I purchased the seat belts so I could get coupons. When I tried to redeem one of the coupons to purchase a flame thrower kit they didn't honor it.

I suggest checking out the kit offered by Summit. I've bought many Summit brand items and I've been happy with them. Apparently, the kit is only rated 3 stars because someone wasn't happy with the stainless steel they're made out of. FWIW, my wife has a $3k+ refrigerator that's non-magnetic stainless steel!

Thanks Olds64. I saw Autoloc's website and I was impressed with their poppers. I use Summit a lot as I have three Trifives, two '49 Olds, a '42 Merc, and a '68 FJ40.
Summit is very limited as to what they offer in poppers that I can use. The one I was looking at doesn't offer a manual release. They come in pairs, which is fine, but I need another popper for the trunk.
For seat belts I go with a guy from Texas whose trade name I believe is Jalapeno, or something like that.
