I used a bolt in the door mount as a door stop but it didn't allow the door to open far enough. I mentioned it to my son and he said he would come up with something. Did not expect this ------
The first picture shows the mechanism with the door closed. The second picture shows the door full open. The third picture shows the mechanism with the door full open
Pretty sure that a LOT of us would be interested in purchasing a set if he decides to put into production! BY the way, can you tell me what paint color you used on your car. Looks fantastic.
I suggested to him that I expected there would be interest. I don't know if he can produce them at a price that will be of interest. I'll ask him and post a reply.
The color I used is Ruby Red (slightly modified)
used by Ford and others I think.
Can I ask if this modification was carried out with the standoffs in place and just the waterfall removed, or did you need to remove them too for access?
The doorstop mechanism is installed by simply removing the hard top (if you are using one) and removing the waterfall. It requires drilling and tapping approx. 4 holes (ea. side). I was laid up the day he installed them so I didn't get a chance to watch.
Once number one son arrives at a selling price and there is still interest I'll post some installation photos.
Jeff has set the price of the door mechanism at $ 225.00. If you are interested send me a PM and I will get you in direct contact with Jeff. He designed, machined and installed the part. This is what he does.
Want to apologize to all who had an interest in the door stop mechanism. I had a fall last year and was laid for a while. I just made a short video on my cell phone in case anyone is interested in seeing it in operation. Just text me at 5037505501 with your iPhone number and I will send it to you in a message. Unable to attach to this posting $225.00
I received mine from Jeff, took some time as he was doing a little redesign work.
Parts look great, Though I haven't had time to install them yet.
