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 intended to get the 1/4 ream (thanks, Mark) and report the success of the operation by now. As usual, something else has taken priority. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your input, Brad

Thanks for your input, Brad Is this a hand operated tool? Something like a socket wrench can be used? There is a kit for this on a 356, and a beetle, same issue really. rich |
