[Jean Caron]

Michael,
The thank you is to Roger Moment, he is so good at explaining, in minute details some of these repairs with excellent photos to back up his text. I am glad it worked out for you.

A big thank you to Jean Caron for pointing me to the most timely article in the March/April Austin-Healey magazine on how to replace my door check without removing the fender.  The article was spot on and it worked amazingly easy following Roger Moments instructions.  The clevis that bolts to the door frame is original to the car otherwise it would have been chrome like the door check.  There was one screw and nut that would not come undone and due to the less than desirable access to it I just put another 10-32 screw and nut in the other hole and called it done.  Heck, who is ever going to see it anyway.  The door check holds the door open as it should which should make my work inside the passenger compartment easier if I don't have to hold the door open at the same time I am working in there.  Don't know what I would do without this list and you guys.  Of course a big shout out to mark on the 30th for Team.net.  He deserves as much praise as anyone.

As a matter of fact there is an excellent article by Roger Moment about this in the March/April 2021 issue of the Austin-Healey Magazine and this will also be an article in his upcoming book about Restoration and Maintenace of the Big Healeys.

Yes you can do it on the later 100 which have weld nuts on the restraint plate.

Make a small loop in the end of a straightened wire coat hanger and attach that to the hole in the end of the arm with an small nut and bolt.

Remove the screws holding the restraint plate in place then use the wire to guide the assembly forward to where you can reach it inside the fender.

This doesn't work on the earlier cars which don't have the weld nuts on the restraint bolt.

Credit where credit is due ... this was recommended by Roger Moment.

I might be whistling in the dark here, but is there a way to install the door check assembly in the "A" pillar without removing the fender?  Trying to avoid any damage after paint.
