Title: Door check strap info fulvia coupe Post by: Oliveoils on 30 June, 2020, 03:58:39 PM Hi guys
Can anybody advise or provide a drawing of the door check strap assembly? Both doors on my car have the straps but there are no parts to attach the strap to the doors and I am struggling to find any info on the parts required to restore the straps to working order. Also have a courtesy light switch missing. Guess the doors have been removed in the past, and these parts never made it back to the car when re fitted !, Title: Re: Door check strap info fulvia coupe Post by: lancialulu on 30 June, 2020, 04:20:25 PM The strap pushes through a sprung roller part that is bolted to the inside of the door IIRC. A disk is slid over the strap and a split pin or similar goes through one of the limit holes (to suit how far the door opens). There is a strap on ebay at the mo.(no connection).

As I said the correct detail found in the parts book is a felt washer followed by a steel washer.

Title: Re: Door check strap info fulvia coupe Post by: Oliveoils on 01 July, 2020, 05:01:15 PM Many Thanks for the info everybody! Can't tell you how much I have struggled to get clear info on this. I now understand what I should now be looking for to get things fixed, and will begin the hunt for parts.
To Both Richard and Norm, Thank you for your offer of a door switch. If you can find one I would be very grateful ,and very happy to pay even if it requires some work to make good. Terry Christian |
