They are pure crap.

I saw some metal ones for a mopar that have the 4 metal tangs that are bent over when installed.
I am considering ordering themjust to see if they fit the hole.
Guess I could e mail the guy for a diameter measurment.
A heat gun is not recommended for these ferrules. Boiling water will distribute heat much more evenly, without melting the plastic. We have sold thousands of these exact ferrules for years using and recommending this method, with great success.
