Bought some Aqualu Half Doors that I just got back from paint. I also ordered some BTB/ Man-a-Fre door stops. Either the gap in the door side bracket is wrong or there's another style as they don't seem to work well together.

Thanks for the pictures, kind of disappointing Aqualu doesn't make the doors to accept the factory door stops, but definitely not the end of the world. I searched for the later year bushings and couldn't find them or a picture. If anyone has a picture of part number I'd like to check them out.

I don’t think the later year will work for you. Mine is a 1978 and I believe the hardware is the same through ‘84. My factory bushings are too thin to fill the gap.

I’d wonder what Aqualu recommends?

I have a email out to them to see
 
You may see something here… go to Amazon and search “ metal spacers for bolts “

There are quite a few but with a little ingenuity you may find something that is a great fit

I got on McMaster Carr and ordered some aluminum M8 OD sleeves that will accept a M5 screw. I plan to make something from that. Or maybe Aqualu will have something off the shelf to fix this. It's not a hard problem to solve, I just don't see why they don't make the door to accept what's there from the factory.
