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

So if I have to file the pin smaller to fit the hole on the car....then the pin will be too loose in the new aluminum lever.
I fail to see how this helps and is my exact situation. It would be better if the lever had no holes so you could drill the exact size you need. I'm so confused on this part. And I've spent some time for sure trying to get it to fit. I'm down to trying to ream the hole out in the chassis receiver just slightly so the oversize pin fits. And then drill my own hole in the pin to accept a cotter pin just like the factory did. Not sure I'll go that route... Instead, I may fab my own aluminum lever with better curvature that rides the wheels better. |
