Forgive me if its all tooo late but I saw a request on here a bit
back.
I have just been informed by the other half that here E30 drivers door
is making a horrible noise when opened and closed against the check
mechanism.
Investigation revealed the retaining bracket fractured but holding
with one bolt. this meant that all of the pressure was carried by
this bolt and it was flexing the door casing. The fractures were
caused by fatigue and prolonged use in this condition would of ripped
the door to bits !
I have welded up the carriage but the operating spring has gone prior
to refitting (NOT heat damaged) so a previously enjoyed one has been
ordered from a salvage yard for the princely sum of 6 UK Pounds.
They did say they would send one from a red car too.
Hope the above is some use.
