A real common 914 problem: The tabs mounted on the door post have worn and allow the new check strap to click as it reaches the next detent. A larger pin would eliminate the problem but enlarging the holes on the tabs is a problem with clearance issues. Any bright ideas? Thanks, Brad

Brad,
Would clamping a piece of brass over the hole and spot welding it shut, and re drilling it to the correct size, work?? |
