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

glad to see this thread. my kit is somewhere, never installed, because of the pin fit issue. I guess I'll try filing Filing alone won't get a good result. You need the holes of the brackets on the chassis to match the hole in the stay arm with a pin that fits snugly in all three. Otherwise, you wind up with play in the mechanism that causes loud and annoying clicks when you open and close the doors. If you want a quiet mechanism, you need to either file the oversized pins down and bush the arm to reduce the bore size or ream the bracket holes out to match the oversized pins. Reducing the arm bore is not hard or expensive to do. I think the aluminum bushings I used cost 23 cents each retail. |
