[Staowners] Rubber grommets.

[Ernie and Doreen Taube]

Hi All. & Aussie Bob.

When I took the doors off my Alpine the grommets at the top door hinge looked like they were original.  They were the usual style.  Sized to fit into the upper hole with a groove to lock into the hole size.  That is to say the outside and inside of the grommet were larger than the hole , with the groove the same size as the hole.  
In my case I had to enlarge the hole and remove the top center bolt from the hinge bracket mounted on the door pillar so the hinge pin would come out without any interference.
I am assuming that I will have to mount my doors before I install the front wings.  Mal has given me the sequence that he uses to reassemble his cars & I am going to follow his advice.  ( Thanks Mal) 
Also thanks for the template from which I have fabricated a very nice lever, Mal.

To all the STAO group Doreen and wish to extend our best wishes for the New Year, and all our best for the coming and current touring season.
