To keep the spring from flying off, clamp a pair of Vice Grips to the loop opposite the one you're prying off, and they won't fly nearly so far.

Dave, do you have any recommendations pertaining to using your rollers on the stainless steel version of the detent? I'm guessing this is David's situation

No problem. I'll be glad to sell the rollers separately. Plastic or brass, same price: $15.26/each or 2 for $27.74.

Go for it. The rollers will work just fine with a stainless steel detent cam.

Great pics, great info.


First, let me say that anybody who hasn't bought a set of these is a cheap-ass bastard. Next, for those of us who haven't bought a set... I was wondering if there are door stay mechanisms from other cars (ones that are easy to come across in the boneyards) that could be adapted to a 914. Is there anything about the 914 design that is really so different from other cars ? I haven't looked into this at all, but my hunch is that there has got to be a door stay just sitting out there that could be bolted to a 914 door with a simple, klugey adapter that would be hidden inside the door anyway.

Any opinions, BTDT stories, or random insults ?

BTW, if your door thumps, ticks, creaks or groans when you open it, you need this kit.

An inexpensive spring puller will keep the spring from flying across the room. Great thread. I vote classic. Eddy

I just got my parts back from the electroplater and I'm in the process of rebuilding my check straps.

Is the plastic roller suposed to bind in the check strap assy or should it be rolling like the alum/brass roller?

Thanks

David

For the young guys, an old school drum brake spring r&r tool is perfect for this job.

Nice work Dave.
