martyn wright Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Hi! Just noticed that I have no Check Strap fitted? I managed to find one and my brother dropped the other off to me! These I painted up, last night! Can someone tell or send photo of what connects the metal check strap to the A post next to the main hinge? Is it a pin with securing clip or nut and bolt? Many Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Here you are Martyn. Hope your brackets on the A posts arent damaged as we found out in a recent post that their repair is a big job😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn wright Posted September 13 Author Report Share Posted September 13 Hi Johny! No they are all good! What are the clips for please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Theyre weatherstrip clips but maybe you can use them to hold on that strap exterior rubber seal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyn wright Posted September 15 Author Report Share Posted September 15 Ah! Might be an idea! Cheers Johny! I checked Rimmer for 2 x Clevis Pins and 2 x retaining clips and with VAT and £5.00 for delivery it came to over £11.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Two things to check (no pun intended!) before fitting and closing the door: as the door closes, on mine anyway, the bracket that the strap connects to actually goes into the door very slightly when the door is closed. If the head of the pivot is too large it will hit the door, and also if the pin is too long, it will hit the door at the bottom, and either dent it or take paint off. Make sure when fitted that the pin doesn't hit the door, trim as necessary with frequent checks, and it will avoid that initial crunch the first time you close the door thinking the job is finished. Done that! The green clips in the photo hold the rubber seal into the aperture, one top and one bottom. The seal has two screw holes, but for some reason they're just clipped on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
