Hi Bob, If you need some for your Z, I have some spare 1600 ones (rear doors etc) in unworn condition.

This seems to be the main problem,it is possible to build it up with weld and refinish it but you can find a good spare from the rear doors of a 1600, or on an early pick-up as they are the same as a Z and seem to get less wear and tear as the doors are lighter and used less (depending on the car). Assuming everythings ok, loosen the bolts and make sure the orig. shims are still there then tighten them so you can just move things with your hands and close the door slowly, this should give you a base to work from, also be sure the doors mechanism is tight and has a little grease to help it out. I hope that helps, > > Dan > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
