Door check retainer
Hey y'all, my door check retainer is broke. More specifically the part on the cab, so the part on door has nothing to attach to and pin to go in. What's the best fix to this? Is there a way to avoid cutting and welding something in? Thanks.

Re: Door check retainer
Here you go people--e-bay search jeep door ck bracket. These are new. If getting yours from a u-pullet place just get the bracket also. Bolt on or weld on.

Re: Door check retainer
Nice new parts
Still wondering, do those require a self tapping bolt? Or do you have to get into the A-pillar to used a backing bolt?

Re: Door check retainer
my 61 probably has a plate thats tack welded and threaded. later non bolt on could use some kind of nut-cert. or weld on.

My Jeep retainers did not allow my doors to open quite far enough; so I removed the rubber bumpers to where I could slice off half. I could've cut a bit more, but I just let well enough alone, after checking, at that point. Good luck with your project(s)! Sam |
