[Healeys] Early Door Checks

[Josef.Eckert at t-systems.com]

I can`t help you with replacement leaf springs. I did the ones on my car out
of spring steel to fit. Even the original ones were not strong enough to hold
the doors open. I think those and the rollers were designed to guide the
straps, but not to hold the doors open when opened. Or it was one of these
wantobe designs.

Betreff: [Healeys] Early Door Checks

BN1's up to body number 5000 had used a different type door check than the
later cars.
These early cars, in stead of the pincer springs which catch on a wire, or the
more sophisticated friction clutch of the 6 cylinder cars had 2 small rollers
restrained within a box that rode over bumps on the check arm.
Pressure on the rollers was provided by pair of very small leaf spring on each
roller..
I need either some replacement leaf springs or perhaps a couple of replacement
check assemblies...
Can anyone help with these peculiar little bits.

Thanks,

Michael Salter
