Re: E-34 door checkstrap

["Neil Grundy" <neil_grundy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, had that problem too, there was a web site with a couple of
templates to make your own steel plates, but it seems to have moved/gone.
I just followed the template and screwed it in place with the normal
screws. Make sure the door brake itself is not broken/weakend, mine broke
so I replaced that at the same time.

A search in Google for E34 door brake gives a few results. Here you can
buy the plates if necessary.

Hope that helps
