Help me understand. The door stay kit I’m using comes with a pin but it’s too big for the hole. I could make the hole bigger but there’s still no groove for a clip. Stock pin on right

I appreciate that 914rubber is making the parts. It would be good to know they differ from stock and the reason behind it, what mods or fitting might be needed.
For example, if I just purchased the aluminum lever but not the kit, the hole would be too big for a stock pin and be useless without the larger aftermarket pin. |

QUOTE(mepstein @ Dec 9 2019, 11:50 AM)  I appreciate that 914rubber is making the parts.

For example, if I just purchased the aluminum lever but not the kit, the hole would be too big for a stock pin and be useless without the larger aftermarket pin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) If I had a constructive criticism for 914Rubber it would be: provide better and more consistent install documentation. For example, many of the seals require some trimming to fit. Even if there was a basic instruction included that said "Trim to fit" that would give you more confidence before you start slicing into the brand new part you just purchased. To be fair, Mark / Matty have done some excellent install threads here and posted some well done videos on the more complex stuff. Sometimes its the simple stuff that needs more explanation. On related note, I guess we (the customers) need to do a better job reviewing products on their website and submitting feedback to 914Rubber and to help others. I admit I've never done that, so that's on me. All good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
