Installed a fresh set of Gt styled door panels on the teener over the weekend.


I got the confidence,following Aaron's thread,as he made it seeem soooo easy.Yeah right.


Well Aaron,the recover went real well til I got up to the tuck & roll.It kicked my A@* so bad,I threw in the towel,and let a local upholster finish the job.

I initially got 2 sets of door pulls to compare prices.Cheapest was from fiatparts.com 20 bucks for the pair.

The leather door strap was made by a local leather guy,6 bucks for the pair.

Finally,the bezel for the door strap I copied from AJ's site cause he actually has measurements for it.I lasered it here at work,and made a forming die to hammer it's shape.

Not a lot in it,but at least it is finally done.

Anyway,Aaron's thread is a really good one.Thanks for writing it.

Ron

I just knew that someone wanted to know,how the strap is attached.

It is bolted on to the inner latch using a 4-40 x 1/2" long stainless,phillips head screw.

Start by drilling an access hole adjacent to the latch underneath.


I hope the pics are in order.

so you tack welded a tab onto the inner frame of the latch to put your screw into? there is nothing below the inside screw (pics 1 & 2 ) to attach that strap to. at least nothing with a surface that the screw you are showing could grip to.

The pull strap is attached with a 4-40 screw to the latch,using the the hole that is now vacant,when the latch rod was removed.No drilling,No welding.
