I read somewhere that there is a kit available that makes the doors open wider. Does anyone know about this kit? Can you give me any info? Geo. |

Not sure about a kit but there is a fairly simple mod you can do that allows the doors to open a little wider |

quote: Piece of cake Gort. It's a good idea to clamp the door check with a pair of needle nose vise grips to prevent it from retracting into the door once the bolts are removed. There is a lot of pressure on it and if it retracts, it's a B*^ch to get back out. If using washers, use masking tape to tape a gang of 4 or 5 washers together. Tape the gang of washers to the end of a piece of stiff wire so you can lower them into place. If you're using a kit spacer, you can remove one bolt and just loosen the other. Once you get one end of the spacer bolted in, you can then remove the other bolt and swing the other end of the spacer into place and bolt it. It is tight in there! But one of the most rewarding mods to do. This message has been edited by beachcat on 09-13-2013 at 05:25 PM |
