Ian Barrett Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I need your help guys. I converted my landy to a truck cab. Part of the conversion was to change the rear door, which is side hinged and doesn't have the runners or fitting points for the metal check bar and its lever release. There is just the 2 bolts for the bottom hinge which come through the frame and the Pivot bracket (MXC2047) inside the tub which the metal check bar would have fitted into. I have never fitted a replacement check bar/strap because I can't come up with an alternative idea which utilises these two anchor points and doesn't involve modifying the rear door - which I'm not going to do. So do any of you whizzes have an idea for a check strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
