xebec Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hi,Following on from my earlier post entitled "Mk3 GT6 Restoration nearly complete" I am getting close to completion now however, I have come across a part that I cannot figure out exactly where it comes from. I am sure it comes from the doors as I bagged all parts for the doors in plastic bags clearly labeled for which door etc. I thought it was supposed to be one of the window upper and/or lower stops but I have those fitted consequently I am at a loss as to where it exactly fits. I cannot recall from what part of the door I removed the it from. I cannot find it in the parts manual neither.I have attached a pic (first one) and hope someone can identify it. I have also included a couple of other pics.Thanks & Regards...Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonnett Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I would have thought it was a window stop but it's not quite the same as one of the ones in a set I made for a friend. Yours looks as if it has had a bit chewed out of it.Your door latch looks really nice. Is it new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xebec Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hi John, Thanks for your input, the door latch is the original and not new. Those top parts that you show certainly look the same. What I don't understand is where they would fit. Do you happen to know by any chance? The top stops that I have are the same as what you show in the lower part of your pic. The bottom ones I have are large L shaped items that fit in the lower part of the door. I assume there are not supposed to be a total of three stops in one door. Hmm interesting...

xebec Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hi John,Thanks for the photo. In the end I have fitted both of the stops in your pic as top window stops. Why there should be a need for two upper stops I don't know but anyway as far as I can see problem sorted. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds as if the L shaped stop you mention was added by a PO. I have three sets of doors and they all have the same glass stop arrangement; one to control fully open and the other, fully closed.
