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

I used a short bolt with a nylon nut in place of the pin. The bolt was large enough diameter to fill the hole in the stay (1/4"?) and just long enough to secure a nylon nut underneath the tabs. Easy to install and tighten. I tightened the nut just enough to stop the stay from moving and clicking. Not stock, but works great and is reversible.
