door check straps

[Hugh Barnes]

And perhaps to fnish the thread (though more banter always welcome) It would appear the metal plates at the door end, as seen on Malcolm's car, are also correct, as confirmed by a message from another owner I have received this morning. I was planning just to use screws and cup washers, but may reconsider that now as I can see the benefits of the plate approach...

PS. Anyone have one (or two) of those plates kicking around they could spare. I suspect that if they do, they will now be muttering 'I always wondered what those were...'
