[Healeys] How to keep the door open

[goldengt]

The threads are probably stripped on the stud or nut or both. You could weld in a new stud or use a smaller die to cut new thread and a smaller nut. Get the left hand thread ztuff from McMaster Carr on line.Ken Freese Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

The passenger door is ok.I have tried tightening the friction washer but it wont do any good.  There is a new "friction washer" installed but it doesn't do any good either.  The metal pieces have been "polished" over the years and are VERY smooth - like glass smooth.What do other folks do to recover the friction need to keep the door open?...................
