want to trade right upper door hardware for left
« on: March 24, 2014, 02:53:26 PM »
 When I put my M-2 together I had two right side upper door flaps with all the hardware, and no drivers side, so I stripped it and put the upper flap on the drivers door, but the hardware is all different, now that I'm taking care of small details I want to try to put the drivers door together, I'm hoping someone has two sets of drivers side uppers and needs a passenger side hardware,I will pay postage both ways! The bolt on the door latch is freely moving in my latch! All the parts are in very good shape!

 If someone has the front longer slide available I guess I'll have to buy one, the bolt and smaller slide won't be that hard to modify but the front slider is too different for easy modifying.

Al Stiefel makes them and they cost around $10 each, just got a set and they look OK. His number is 530-533-2778.

 Since I already had a outside door handle on order from Gary,I just ordered the big slide from him, the smaller one will be easy enough to rework but the bigger one is too much work, the door stop just needs to have the tube cut off and rewelded in the opposite direction. I wish these guys that are making these parts would get the word out a little better.

SOS MV has those parts also. Much nicer than Al Stiefel's.
