Pictures of the connector strap inside the door, by the wing vent
-
A member requested pictures of the connecting strap/brace inside the door by the wing vent window. This is a ’72 door and you can see the screw hole on the interior of the door and the "U" nut on the inside that the screw goes into. The strap is usually broken and this allows the door to spread apart in this area and creates a gap between the vent window and the outside of the door. The screw that was added to the ’72 doors prevented this from happening. You can see that this strap is cracked (3rd pic) even with the screw, but the screw still held it together....The door has to be partially disassembled to repair the strap if it is broken. LockDoc

Re: Pictures of the connector strap inside the door, by the wing vent
Thanks for posting Leon! I think I should be able to drill the hole in mine and I should be good to go. Any idea of the size of screw that is used?

Re: Pictures of the connector strap inside the door, by the wing vent
Leon I have the screws and ferrule kit on it's way. Last question, do you know the diameter of hole that I need to drill? Thanks for all of the help!

Thanks Leon for the great pics. Does anyone have good shots of what it takes to do the "weld" version of the repair?

Re: Pictures of the connector strap inside the door, by the wing vent
It's probably too late since your door is already painted, but I have a 72 passenger door that I could cut that piece out of and send to you if you wanted it "splice" it in. It's not just a hole. It does have some shape to it if I remember correctly. Let me know!

Re: Pictures of the connector strap inside the door, by the wing vent
I noticed on the doors I'm repairing that there is a crack starting. I'll weld it up, but I'm also going to add the screw to each door, thanks for the pics Leon!
The sleeve that comes with WES' screw kit looks like if you drill the hole out just big enough for the sleeve to fit it should look pretty nice.

Re: Pictures of the connector strap inside the door, by the wing vent
That's the piece that I'm preparing to cut out to install one-piece power windows. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to restore the rigidity of the door without that brace there? I can't convince certain family members to not slam doors, so now I'm a little worried about eliminating it.

Yes, the ferrule acts as the trim piece and adds strength to the hole to keep the screw from pulling through. Just go easy when tightening it up.... Quote:

Re: Pictures of the connector strap inside the door, by the wing vent
I had cracks starting on the edges so I hit the corners and made a "seam" and put a few extra where they connect.

Re: Pictures of the connector strap inside the door, by the wing vent
Love the pics just looking for more info and visual. Is the kit from WES for 67-71 doors or just the 72?
All of the pre 72 stuff splays out in this area letting water in. |
