early door limiters

[73tlcv8]

I want to manufacture my own door limiters like those shown. Does anyone happen to have a spare they could trace on a piece of paper (just the rod part) as a template I could use? Thanks.

Where ya located? I have a new set of them I have not tried to mount up yet.
I can trace them out tonight or tomorrow. Gotta find them first.

I could use the template as well as I am tired of my doors hitting the sideview mirror.

I thought Shane was trying to repro those???

also there should be a rubber bumper that goes behind the pillar to cushion the blow at full stroke.

I could also use the template if you would be so kind.

SOR beat me to it, plus they stupid expensive to have made and there was no way I could do better than SOR's

Buy them there.

Thanks fj404life. I'm located in NC. Looks like a few others are interested as well. I can't part with that much $ for something I can make and enjoy doing.

I'm in if someone wants to make them...I havent looked at sors yet....I'm still using rope where the limiters go......lol

Sorry was looking around last night for the new set I have. Have not found them yet.
Got a couple more boxes to check today.


Edit: found em!
You may have to mess with the scale of the printout.
I put the measurement from the tip to the tip to help you get scaled right.

Thanks very much. I was able to get the 4 11/16 to work out by resizing the image to 608 x 395 pixels. Looks like about 3/8" rod.

Cool glad it worked. I will toss some calipers on the rod tonight for ya.
I dont think that would be critical to match exact though...long as the curve is close it should work.

edit: yup 3/8"

I appreciate you doing this in the middle of your other problems. Glad to see you solved the electrical gremlins.
