Where does this little monkey fit??

[Mikey_Boy]

Hi everyone,

2 door non electric window car, 1990. I'm doing a front door rebuild after paint and I'm a bit bemused where part 15 fits in the door or if I can discard it? It's a track build so if it's not going to hurt, I'll leave it out:

Many thanks!!

I think its bonded to the inside, but if yours is loose it may not be, sits at the bottom of the door in the middle

It was removed by the body shop when they did the paint - the only blimmin' part I didn't get a picture of!

Looking at the door, I'm guessing it's there just to stop the outer panel flapping about?

*Edit* just had a quick look and it attaches to the outer door panel and braces across to the base of the inside - I've changed the body kit from SE to MTechII so no way to refit it now - I *think* it was fitted to stop the door vibrating when closed, so I'll leave it off - another 250 grams saved!! *thumb*

Slam a BMW door; slam a Ford door. That little bracket is one of the reasons for the difference.

Makes sense Brian...

It's a track car with all the sound deadening removed so it's gonna rattle like 2 skeletons shagging in a biscuit tin
