GT6 door check strap brackets

[Adrian Saunders]

I need to remove the check-strap brackets from a door shell but I cannot see how they’re attached. I cleaned the area on the outside of the shell back to bare metal expecting to uncover some spot-welds, but there’s no evidence of any and inside doesn’t reveal anything either! Was this Triumph’s move towards bonding, long before anyone else? I wish. Would someone please advise where the welds are. The tiny dark patch @ 3 o’clock looks like one but, it’s over the manufacturing location hole in the bracket. 

Cleaned propely on the inside revealed all four of them! But they don’t show on the outside. Great. 

Thanks.

It’s a double-skinned area and the brackets are spot welded to the inner skin only!
